Student Testimonial - "I did a four week course at PRC-CIE Academy in June 2005. I'm now working in Shanghai
for a consultancy company. PRC Study gave me a really good foundation
in Mandarin. When I got back to my home university in January
2006 after my travel adventures, I was placed in the Chinese 2
language class even though I was a total beginner when I started
at PRC Study and had not studied Mandarin since your course in
June 2005 – that's how good the classes at PRC Study
were. " Cathryn Masuda, Hawaii State University, USA.

Student Testimonial - "My time

soon to see you all." Scott Devary, USA.
