Success stories
“We are from Cambodia and moved to New Zealand 13 years ago; we used to work as workers in factories due to our low English level. However, after studying English for workers course with Wilkinson’s our English became better, and we started our own business.
We highly recommend this course for all workers; the class timetable is flexible, just 2 hours per week at a time that suits our working time. Moreover, the course is designed based on our level and our needs, friendly staff and our teacher was quite supportive and professional, we would like to thank Wilkinson’s team for their help”
