1 About the ELS Institute in Malaysia
The ELS Institute in Malaysia is the official privilege of the American Els Language Centers, and its Malaysian branch opened in 1990 to be the first English language training center in the country. The institute offers multiple study sites, some within university cities and some in the city center, all of which share strict academic standards and professionally qualified teaching staff.
The parent company ELS was originally founded in the United States to provide language training programs for a number of official US agencies, such as the International Development Agency (AID) and US Information Services (USIS), before it later expanded to include international students and companies around the world. This long legacy makes the ELS Malaysia one of the most reliable English language institutes in the country.
The institute is officially accredited by the Malaysian Ministry of Education, the Malaysian International Education Services Authority (EMGS), as well as from IDP International, which gives it additional credibility from universities around the world.
