B1 English for Developers Certification (Beta)
- Free
- Certificate included
- Course certificate
The follow-on to freeCodeCamp's A2 course, written for developers and aligned with the B1 level of the Common European Framework of Reference. It contains 73 dialogues across 49 blocks, each dialogue paired with a quiz. The grammar strand moves from describing places and events and talking about past experiences and activities into the Present Perfect, planning future events and the Future Continuous, conditionals, modal verbs, adverbial phrases, adjectives, determiners and articles, and reported speech. The communication strand covers sharing feedback and opinions, expressing agreement, disagreement and concerns, making decisions based on comparisons, managing a conversation, clarifying misunderstandings, and speculation and requests.
Throughout, the vocabulary stays close to software work — describing code, taking part in stand-up meetings and discussing tech trends — so that you can prepare for real interactions in a tech team. The course is interactive, self-paced and free, and is marked Beta. Completing it earns the B1 English for Developers Certification, issued at no cost at a public URL on freecodecamp.org, alongside freeCodeCamp's other free language certifications.
