Read the complete course description

Professional English for IT Support and Customer Service — B1 to B2

Build the English skills to manage a complete support request: welcome a customer, discover the exact problem, explain safe steps, handle frustration, write a structured ticket, escalate with evidence and verify the original task before closing. You will practise with realistic, fictional workplace cases rather than memorize isolated phrases.

Who this course is for

  • English learners at approximately B1 who want to move toward confident B2 workplace communication.
  • Service-desk agents, technical support trainees, customer service representatives and career changers.
  • Learners who can already write simple English sentences but need more accurate professional exchanges.

What you will be able to do

  1. Lead a five-part support interaction with a useful opening, accurate summary and clear next action.
  2. Separate reported symptoms, verified facts, possible causes and business impact.
  3. Explain a process using one action, one checkpoint and a safe stop condition.
  4. Respond to anger and sensitive requests with empathy and clear authorization boundaries.
  5. Produce accurate customer emails, chat transcripts, internal tickets and escalation notes.
  6. Deliver verified updates and close a case only after appropriate outcome checks.

How to study

Work through the eight modules in order. Each module has three substantial lessons, a structured quiz containing seven automatically scored prompts plus one instructor-reviewed short response, and a practical assignment scored against a 100-point rubric. Allow about 24 guided hours for reading, practice, quiz attempts and writing. The duration is an estimate, not a guaranteed completion time.

Assessment and integrity

Quizzes use a 70% passing threshold and allow up to three attempts. Written short answers require instructor review; the initial automatic score is not a final pass/fail result. Assignments also target 70% with a four-part rubric. Use fabricated support examples only. Never share live account details, passwords, one-time codes or private screenshots. This training does not authorize access changes or security exceptions.

Course completion project

The final module includes three complete fictional support cases. Learners must show consistent written communication, accurate evidence handling, permission boundaries and a verifiable closure process. An instructor should review the submitted portfolio before treating the learning objectives as demonstrated.

Important practical limit

This course teaches communication and safe support decision-making. It does not provide access to real corporate systems, vendor-specific lab environments, privileged tooling or guaranteed workplace certification. Your organization’s approved policies and technical procedures always govern real support work.
