Direct English sees further ASEAN growth in Ho Chi Minh City

More students in Vietnam will now have the opportunity to develop their skills in the English language, with the expansion of the world-class Direct English language training franchise in Ho Chi Minh City.

Direct English Vietnam has launched their second language training center for adults in the Phu Nhuan district of the city. They offer the complete nine levels of the Direct English language training system to both businesses and individuals. They also offer students full access to their interactive online learning platform, Direct English Live, which supports Direct English students worldwide with their studies from the comfort of their home.

Direct English entered the Vietnamese market just over a year ago, and has already seen great demand for their English language training program. This second training center in Ho Chi Minh City is a large, three-storey modern center which caters for all levels of English proficiency. It features modern multimedia rooms and conversation classes, and a great social area for Direct English students to relax in.

Direct English – a growing education brand in ASEAN 

Direct English is a global English language training franchise – already delivering high quality training across Asia and the Middle East. This includes a presence in Japan, Thailand, Malaysia, Myanmar and across the Gulf. The expansion of Direct English in Vietnam is part of the Group’s wider expansion plans for the brand across the South-East Asian region which will see further Direct English training centers open in Thailand and Myanmar in the months ahead.

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.
