COVID-19 may mean most of our Direct English training centers are currently closed, but that’s not stopping one of the Linguaphone Group’s newest Direct English partners forging ahead with their plans to launch the brand’s international English language training program in Iraq.

Tatweer Academy has recently been appointed the Group’s exclusive Direct English partner across Iraq. With over twelve years’ experience in the market, Tatweer already has offices in Basra, Baghdad and Erbil delivering training programs in IT, administration and engineering. Partnering with Direct English has now given them the opportunity to add a world-class English language training program to their portfolio, whilst capitalising on the growing demand for a quality English language training program across Iraq.

Tatweer Academy plans to develop a network of branded Direct English training centers across Iraq in the years ahead, as well as offering in-company training. Their first milestone is the upcoming launch of two brand new training centers. One is a large, modern flagship Direct English training center located in central Basra, and the second is based in the city of Al Diwaniyah.

Renovation is underway but has been delayed by the COVID-19 lockdown. Though they hope to have their official launches as soon as they can, they have used the unprecedented situation to launch online tuition through the new Direct English Live learning platform. Direct English Live is fully integrated into the Direct English language system, and delivered by qualified tutors. The platform also offers comprehensive learning and practice resources, as well as ongoing progress tests.

Direct English is a nine level language system that focuses on developing confidence and proficiency in the English language. Designed for use by beginners through to experienced learners, Direct English is already a market-leader across the Middle East where hundreds of thousands of students have already achieved success with Direct English.
