Step 3 Placement test. There is a grammar test and then a speaking part with one of our teachers. It takes about one hour and costs RM100 in Kuala Lumpur and RM90 in Penang.

Find out more about the placement test here.

Step 4 Sign up. Our customer relations executives will advise you what classes are available. Our courses are very popular so sometimes there might not be a place available straight away in your level.

If courses at your level are full we will put you on our waiting list.

Step 5 Pay. You pay for your course at our counter. We happily accept payment by cash, credit card (MasterCard or Visa), cheque and bank draft in Ringgit Malaysia.

Please read our terms and conditions (44 KB)

Step 6 Buy your books. You need to buy a set of books. Take your course payment receipt to the MPH bookstore at the top of the stairs near our classrooms in Kuala Lumpur.

You must buy the books before Lesson 1, or 2.

They also sell dictionaries and self-study books.

A set of books costs around RM90. You need one book for one level (i.e. Pre-Intermediate 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5).

The books that we use are also available from major book shops.
