Success Stories
Students Like You, Succeeding
“I arrived with A2 English and zero confidence. Eight months in the Intensive English Programme took me to Level 6 — I now study Computer Science at APU without IELTS. The teachers genuinely care about every student.”
Ahmed Al-Rashidi · Saudi Arabia

“The AI band prediction was scary accurate. My first mock was 5.5, and after 10 weeks of writing feedback and speaking labs I scored 7.0 overall in the real exam. Best decision I made in Malaysia.”

Yes — every group course offers a completely free trial class at either campus. Only one-to-one private lessons have a paid trial (at the hourly rate).
How big are classes?+
Maximum 12 in every adult class and maximum 8 in Kids English — small enough that teachers correct you in every session.

What happens if my level is wrong after starting?+
Within the first two weeks, teachers re-assess and re-place you at the correct level at no charge — being in the right class matters more than being in the planned one.
Do you provide learning materials?+
