Examination / Administration Services

Exams: we are the Rwanda base for IELTS examinations, we coordinate ACCA exams, and we invigilate university exams for Rwandese applicants to UK-based universities, such as University of Leicester – School of Management Exams, Cambridge International College etc.

			Learn English: Our Teaching Centre offers general English courses to adult learners as well as IELTS preparation courses. We work with corporates, ministries, donors, NGO’s, the private sector, and the public.
