Staff Training at Mega View Hotel, Kuantan

As of June 2014 we have begun a 12-class course for a group of staff at Mega View Hotel in Kuantan. Situated on the banks of the Kuantan River and just a 10-minute drive from Teluk Chempedak, this is a hotel in a great location.

Here is a photo from our 2nd class:

Partnership with CSA Chemicals Sdn Bhd

Horne Learning Services is delighted to announce a partnership with CSA Chemicals Sdn Bhd. Having the same colours in our logos reflects the same standard of quality we both strive for.

We are teaching a 14-class English course to a group of 13 staff at CSA Chemicals Sdn Bhd. The first class took place this week and went very well.

Mr. Duncan has tailored a syllabus with specific exercises to help the staff in their day-to-day work.

English Training at Vistana Hotel Kuantan

Yesterday we conducted our first English Training at Vistana Hotel Kuantan. We taught a group of 8 hotel staff including members from Housekeeping, Front Office, a Bellboy, F&B and a trainee.

The one-hour training went well and we are very privileged to be working with a cooperative and supportive Hotel Manager and Human Resource Manager at Vistana Hotel.

We are conducting a 12-class course with these hotel staff, looking to increase their confidence in speaking English with guests, and to build a desire to continue learning and improving their English long after the 12 classes are completed.
