Reviews

This course was a game-changer!

Power Skills For Work not only enhanced my English skills but also provided invaluable insights into the IT field. Studying daily was a pleasure, and I'll definitely revisit the course for further learning. Highly recommended for B1 to C1 learners interested in tech and English improvement!"

Veronika Vitishchenko-Sokolova
IT Project Manager/Front-End Developer

My personal favorite way to practice soft skills.

Currently taking the Power Skills Course — it's seriously awesome! It's like diving into my favorite Netflix series; I can't wait for the next 'episode' of communication skills practice.

Galina Kozak
IT Project Manager

Now I understand my tech clients and team better.

I've never taken a course like this one. Power Skills For Work not only teaches you useful vocabulary you need for professional business communication but also breaks down communication strategies that every modern professional needs to know, including politeness, persuasion, negotiations, etc. Now, I feel like I can relate to my clients and coworkers much better and our discussions are more productive.

Beatriz Navarro
Software Development Engineer

This course has been invaluable! With the guidance from English For IT, I've honed my communication, coachability, and cultural understanding. From emotional intelligence to leadership, teamwork, and job prep, every aspect was enriching. Thank you for this incredible experience!
