ABOUT

EPro Training Centre, the first ever English exam preparation center in Northern Luzon, began its operations in Baguio City, Philippines, in June 2000. Our students come from all over the Philippines as well as from abroad. We train nurses, doctors, physical and occupational therapists, caregivers, skilled workers (butchers, welders, carpenters, linemen, etc.), engineers, teachers, and students, who need to pass English tests in order to work or study in  such countries as the United States of America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Great Britain, Ireland, Bermuda, Israel, and South Korea. Upon taking EPro’s custom courses, our students become proficient at taking such tests as the TOEFL iBT®, PTE Academic, OET, TOEIC, and IELTS that they achieve a passing rate of over 85%. We are extremely proud of our enrollees and consider them a part of our greater family, which is now spread all over the world.

An integral part of the EPro family is our training staff. All of our teachers are highly qualified, experienced, and proficient in English. Some are native speakers, while others are university professors with master's or doctorate degrees in English and English Literature. Our sole focus is to facilitate high test scores, and this we do with excellence. The trainers, themselves, have taken these tests—often receiving perfect scores—and thus they obviously have first-hand test taking experience. EPro continuously updates all its preparation materials for classroom use.

EPro is an ETS authorized TOEFL iBT® Center since September 2006 and, furthermore, is the only TOEFL iBT® center in Northern Luzon.
