Testimonial

Before my cousin introduce me to ILC my MUET score was band 3 and at that time I lost all confidence because I knew my English is not just good enough. But after I took EFAP and MUET 1 & 2 in ILC then my teacher encourage me to take MUET again and I managed to score 254 which is band 5. Thanks ILC for setting me up for a better future in fact you change my belief and now I know everything is possible.
