Welcome to English for IT – A2 Course 1, an interactive, self-paced learning program delivered in educational partnership with edube.com and OpenEDG. English is the universal language of the global technology sector—from software documentation and developer forums to team stand-ups and ticketing systems.

This course bridges the gap between general pre-intermediate English and practical IT workplace communication. Rather than relying on generic grammar exercises, you will build reading, listening, writing, and speaking skills through real tech scenarios drawn from DevOps, Quality Assurance, Software Development, and Data Analysis. Designed to align with the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR A2) and Global Scale of English (GSE 22–42), this course prepares you directly for the official English for IT A2 Certification.
