THE CONCEPT

We believe in a human-centric approach to training with a focus on active learning, honest feedback and personalised programs. Our goal is to work creatively and productively with your training departments to ensure your company sees an improvement in your staff’s confidence and abilities.
THE HISTORY
Our Managing Director, Sunny Burns, worked as the head of HR and Development for a Singaporian company. He was frustrated about the generic English courses that companies were being provided. Sunny found that companies were great at teaching general and business English but had no real understanding about the duties that each employee had to personally improve on. Our trainers are not your average English Teachers. Our trainers are all Native English speakers with experience working for an international company, multilingual and specialised in various subjects including Public Relations, Sales, Customer Service, Marketing, Recruitment and Account Management
