“It’s advantageous to learn English in Penang where the language is widely used. I had plenty of opportunities to practice spoken English in real life situations. 

I had a good life with interesting cultural exposure in Penang apart from a marvellous study experience at DISTED,"

“I took 3 months’ leave from work to attend the English course with the hope of being able to achieve IELTS Band 6 in order to take up PhD studies in human resources.

After completing the course, I returned to Thailand to sit for the IELTS exam and I did it with Band 6!

I’m thankful to all the English course lecturers who are dedicated and work hard to ensure the best learning outcomes for their students."

"I found that the English programme at DISTED is so much better tailored to meet the needs of students.

I like the English Enrichment Programme very much for its essence and quality.

As such, I had made a wise decision in stopping my English course at another college to join DISTED."
