Course description
Technically speaking, technical English is useful wherever it is necessary to use specialised language describing the technological details of various processes, especially related to the production and use of machinery and equipment, the operation of various installations, technical drawing or the writing and translation of specifications, instructions and production sheets. Technical English is useful in the construction, electrical, energy and mining industries.
