What is the English Placement Test (EPT)?
All applicants are required to sit for the English Placement Test (except for those in a position for an exemption) prior to enrolment in any course at The One Academy. The EPT is used to assess students’ readiness for college-level English /coursework to ensure a smooth progress of study.

There is no charge for taking the English Placement Test. Students who do not meet the minimum required score will be placed into a full-time Intensive English Programme (IEP) at an additional cost of RM2500.00 per semester. This is a preparatory course designed to help students acquire an acceptable proficiency level in English before gaining admission into any course at The Academy.
