German for IT and software professionals
Tech is the one industry in Germany where you can work for years in English — and then discover that the settlement permit, the naturalisation application or the team-lead role all want German on paper. You probably understand more than you can produce, which makes the exam a formatting problem more than a language problem.
Sound familiar?
- Your German is passive: you follow standups but freeze on a written task.
- Evening courses clash with releases and on-call weeks.
- You need B1 for permanent residency and have no certificate at all.
- Apps have you on a 400-day streak and you still cannot write a formal email.

Frequently asked questions
+I work in English — do I need German at all?
Not for the job, often. Yes for a settlement permit (usually B1), for naturalisation (B1), and increasingly for senior or client-facing roles.
+Which level should I start with?
Take the free German level test on this site. Most people who have lived in Germany a couple of years without formal study land around A2.
+How fast can I get a B1 certificate?
If you are genuinely at B1, a few weeks: work through five mock exams, then book the next telc or Goethe date. The exam itself is the slow part — dates fill up.
