INDEPENDENT ENGLISH COURSE BOGOR SO FAR...

I have not posted anything since March 2010. It does not mean that I have not done anything for Independent. There have been lots of things happening at Independent English Course since March 2010. I can mention some of them here.


First, in May Independent joined Lomba Keteladanan Kursus Kota Bogor in conjunction with Hari Pendidikan Nasional... and the result was : Independent won the best English course in Kota Bogor. However we could not go to the next competition in Tingkat Wilayah as the first requirement was that the participant must have been at least 2 years old.


Second, I travelled to East and South Borneo to give English final Test to United Tractors Students who were doing their apprenticeship in United Tractors job sites (coal mine areas) in Muara Tae (Sendawar), Sangatta, Batu Kajang and Adaro. Together with Pak Robi from United Tractors School Jakarta, I travelled for about 11 days.


Third, in June I opened BOURNEMOUTH School of British English in Kota Jababeka Cikarang Kabupaten Bekasi. Miss Cicilia was in charge of the new branch. Miss Sekar became the first teacher and Miss Dahlia takes care of the administration.


Fourth, in July 2010 United Tractors School started the English training again for Batch 3. Independent's Teachers served there for 23 effective days or one month in general. Miss Siti, Miss Dhani, Miss Kiki and two new teachers (Miss Anike and Miss Dyan Sarko) taught there.


Fifth, PT Galenium Pharmasia Laboratories started to process their certificates for English training.


Sixth, UT School Jakarta held another English training programme for Batch 3 from 18 October to 18 November 2010. 


I am now looking for some teachers who can help me to teach in Jababeka, Jakarta and Bogor. Are you interested to join?

COURSE COMPETITION IN TOWN

Yesterday, Thursday 25 March 2010, was a special day for my English course. We joined "Lomba Keteladanan Kursus Kota Bogor". The jury came to Independent English Course at 11.15 and left us at 11.45; they only stayed for about half an hour. There were 6 of them but only Pak Ma'mul Zein and Ibu Ning Taufiek who met me and asked some questions. Others talked to all employees.
We do not care whether or not we will win. Their visit to Independent is enough to show that we get care and attention.
If you want to know the progress we have made so far, come to Independent English Course.

NEWS AND PROGRESS 2009

Independent English Course is an English course in Bogor which tries to serve school students, company employees, university students, office and company managers, civil servants, housewives, job seekers and anyone who wants to master English.

Independent is now teaching more than 70 (regular and private) students in Bogor and 129 students in Jakarta and other areas. School students come from some top schools in Bogor such Sekolah Regina Pacis, Sekolah Kesatuan, Sekolah Budi Mulia, SMP 1, SMA 1, SD Sukadamai 3 and many others. Among private students, some of them come from Bank Danamon and Bank Mega - Jakarta, Sekolah BPK Penabur - Sentul City, Kantor Kementerian Pendayagunaan Aparatur Negara-Jakarta, PT Gramedia-Jakarta, and others. Meanwhile, United Tractors (UT) School Jakarta also trusts Independent English Course to organise English training for their students for one year to prepare them to be global mechanics.

Independent English Course is implementing "Living Values" in the learning and teaching process so that it can be a language school which can help the nation to prepare human resources with respect and pride of living values.

UT SCHOOL ENGLISH TRAINING

UT School Jakarta has trusted INDEPENDENT English Course Bogor to organise a special English training for UT School second year students for acedemic year 2009/2010. The training programme will be held at UT School at Jl Raya Bekasi Km 22 Jakarta.

The training will be given to 128 students and held in two batches:

1. Batch 1 (64 students) will start on Tuesday 28 July 2009 and finish on 28 August 2009.
After 23 day training, the students will join OJT (On the Job Training) for about 7-10 months) in different areas in Indonesia. During the OJT, students learn English through distance learning programme that we hold. After OJT, they will come back to Jakarta to join a 3-day English final examination.

2. Batch 2 (64 students) will start 3 months later. The training will be held similarly.

The UT School English training programme is conducted through a CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) scheme, and hence it is not business oriented.

This training programme will be held continuously from year to year. From 128 students who join the programme, some of them will continue to join another English training programme for higher level. If we can organize the training successfully this year, UT School will automatically ask us handle all the training programmes.
