Begin your Vital Link studies by establishing your needs and obtaining a personal study guide.

A thorough needs analysis is included in the price of The Vital Link. You start by deciding which areas are most relevant for you (meetings, telephone contacts, writing etc.). You then go on to define how confident you feel in some key situations when working in English. You also test yourself on a number of grammar and vocabulary questions.

The result of the needs analysis is a personal study guide which shows you how to work with The Vital Link series. You receive tips on how to combine the three main media of The Vital Link: the books, the listening programmes on CD and the interactive exercises and activities on the Internet. The programme also advises you which areas you should spend most time on.

With the needs analysis and your personal study guide your Vital Link studies will be more effective, more efficient and more enjoyable.
