The Placement Test is a language assessment service for individuals and organisations to determine the English language skills of the individuals or employees, job applicants or trainees in a way which is relevant to their work or level of proficiency.

The test covers reading comprehension, grammar, and vocabulary, with optional assessments in speaking and writing. The test results will enable the center to place the student at an appropriate level for optimum benefit. A payment of 16 USD will be required, of which 3 USD is for the placement test fee and the balance of 3 USD will be adjusted in the total course fee.

Students have to sit for placement tests to determine the suitable course for their English language proficiency level. Once the course is determined the student will commence to attend class based on a timetable provided.

Class duration varies according to levels. Full-time courses are held from Mondays to Fridays.
