Apr 2021
I have received my IELTS score and I’m very happy! I’ve learned a lot within the three-month IELTS preparation course. It was more than learning from the textbook. Thanks to Ms. Victor’s guidance, I am now able to view things more deeply. She has taught me skills that were achieved from daily activities and also through verbal communication about our life. This course has improved my communication skills greatly and now I am not so afraid of talking to others.

During my time studying Diploma and Advanced Diploma here at AAC, I had really good moments and experiences. AAC staff and all teachers are very helpful. AAC has provided great welfare services to students, especially during the circuit breaker period. They did a wonderful job by approaching students who needed help during this tough period and we received a lot of support from the College. Last but not least, I had a wonderful experience at AAC that I will never forget. I appreciate what AAC has done for us!
