Coursework content

To be able to join as a Trainee your English level must be B2 or higher - which is a score of at least 100. We will send you the voucher to take the Duolingo English Test.
This email will be sent to the email address you signed up with.
Check your spam folder.
If you cannot find the voucher, post it on the #general Slack channel.

If you do not need to become a Trainee now, work on your English and take the test during Module 3.

Set-up for the test

• You can't use Linux for this test. If you have a Linux laptop, either use the library or come to class and borrow a computer for an hour.
• The computer must have a working camera and microphone
• You must have a valid ID. List of accepted IDs. If you don't have one, please talk to your cohort founders to arrange a different voucher.
