Our team

Meet the team.

We know the exams and look after the software and technical setup at Linguistic Academy. Each exam has its own system, and we work together to keep it up to date.

Our team uses illustrated avatars and public codenames for privacy.

Here's a little more about our roles and experience.

Working together

Keeping up with exam changes

When an exam changes, we work together to update its system. Everyone contributes from their own area of work.

  1. An exam changes

    We look at what's changed and what it means for that exam's system.

  2. We work on the update

    The team works through the software, networking, and other changes needed.

  3. The system is updated

    We finish the changes to the system built for that exam.
