Learning English
Are you planning on learning English in Singapore? Here are a few schools you can consider:
Spring at Bishan and Jurong East
British Council at Napier Rd
Hanbridge at Mountbatten
Inlingua at Orchard
SSTC at Dhoby Ghaut
Agape at Novena
I would say that the English language courses in Singapore can be broken down in two categories:
1. The group that needs it to work or study in Singapore. In my eyes, this is by far the largest group. Think of this group as people from Asia (Indonesia, China, Vietnam, Taiwan, Korea) who either have the ambition to work in Singapore or who want their children to be confident in English - knowing that Singapore is a more conducive environment to learn English than their home country, if only because there is the 'must' factor. They may arrive with little English skills, but a whole group of schools offers courses to get them up to speed quickly.
2. The second group of people learning English in Singapore is the group that already speaks English pretty well and just wants to improve their articulation, vocabulary, writing or presentation skills. If you belong to this group, be extra critical as to where you follow your course.

1 reviews
ERC Institute was founded in 2003 with the purpose of raising the bar on education in Singapore, and truly bringing business into the classroom.
We believe that business is always about people, and to be successful in business in Southeast Asia, you need to connect well with potential business partners, clients and suppliers across the region and globally. While English is widely spoken, when you are able to speak the local language, you will connect a lot better with others, be them business partners or friends!

EduTrust (4 years)
EduTrust certification is awarded by the Council for Private Education (CPE), a government body that safeguards the quality of Singapore's private education providers. To obtain the EduTrust certification, we have been audited on numerous subjects: Representing our courses correctly, fair enrollment and cancellation policies, proper protection of school fees paid by students and proper complaint procedures, to name a few.
The fact that CPE has awarded us the EduTrust for 4 years shows how satisfied they were with the way we provide our classes and we are highly driven to uphold this honour.
Singapore Service Class (SSC)
We are also proud to be the only private education institute to be awarded the Singapore Service Class Certification by SPRING Singapore in 2009. The previous certification focuses mainly on excellence in academic standards, facilities & work processes; the Service Class Certification focuses on 2 things that we value dearly which are Customer Service & innovation.
