Practiсe English for an international career in work situations
It is not clear whether it will be possible to effectively manage a team and develop a product without any prior experience in a non-native language. And what exactly to improve right now to make it work.
Our course is a simulation of the work of a PM in an international team
Defining customer segments and writing JBTD
Within a month, we will practiсe vocabulary and effective communication in a comfortable environment using real product cases. Experienced linguists and international PMs will accompany you on your way — they will give detailed feedback and share frameworks.

Great practicums that help you experience your work in another language. It is very interesting for those who have not had international practice: in the work of a PM, it is very important to convey your idea, so practicums are the best way to prepare for this, both for interviews and for future work.
Everything is cool! Thanks! The final practicum turned out to be easier than it seemed at first. In general, cool experience to use the language in a pseudo-working environment. The feedback on my speech was very useful to me. I knew that there were problems there, but now I know what exactly needs to be fixed and what the scale is.

FAQ
A team of cool PMs took part in brainstorming ideas, generating tasks as close to real tasks as possible, and also in testing practicums themselves. Here are some of them:
No, not only. This is for PMs, marketing specialists, product designers and anyone who works closely with PMs and understands how the main processes are built. Practicum is a simulator, it is impossible to make irreparable mistakes in it. However, if the most important frameworks and the work of a PM are still a mystery to you, it’s better to come to our General Business Practicums (http://agilefluent.ru/practicum). There, in pairs and groups, you will give presentations in front of the boss, discuss the roadmap with the team and set tasks for the team. Everything is like here, only without being tied to a profession.
Practicums are designed to practice English in work situations. However, real situations and business problems to be solved are the same as in ordinary life. Our classes are attended by people from Sberbank, Alfa Bank, Yandex, VK and other companies, and when solving problems together with other PMs, you always learn something new.
