Dynamic is a boon (A review of an English Training Center)

Communication in English language is the key to success nowadays. There are many people who are capable working for companies with their skills and experiences but they are unable to crack the interviews due to their lack of communication in English. A person might be a talented engineer, a qualified technician or an organized manager but if he doesn’t speak good English, he won’t be able to impress the employer. As a result despite of having good qualifications thousands of people are cursed every year because of their communication skill. With due frustration, they pay the institutions that offer them a guarantee of learning spoken English within 60, 80, 100 days. At the end of the day they feel cheated.

In this regard there is an institution named Dynamic Training Services Private Limited established the 1st of April 2005 in South Delhi. The Institution was established by the Native American and eminent Educationist Mr. Jonathan Charles Shifley who dedicated almost half of his life in teaching spoken English. During his tenure in teaching industry, he taught In America, Japan, Pakistan, and now in India. Mr. Shifley earned his bachelor and master in Education from United State of America itself. Although there are several outstanding institutions in Delhi based in Connaught Place and south Extension but most of them are not affordable for an average population.

Dynamic offers courses start for less than thousand rupees a month and within four months they show tremendous progress. They proved themselves within the short period of four years of their existence in south Delhi. Many of their students belong to the Muslim community who are considered less educated in India. The area Mr. Shifley chose for his first branch of his planned education chain is Jamia Nagar, which is within a kilometer of the famous University Jamia Millia Islamia Jamia Nagar New Delhi. It can be reached by visiting http://www.dynamicindia.com/.

Within this short period of Dynamic’s existence it served people almost from every age group. They have enrolled the people who are masters of their specific fields, want to go to anywhere of the gulf countries but they were unable to face the client’s interviews. Dynamic’s training made it possible for them. A big number of Darul Oloom Graduates also benefitted with the service of this particular English Institution. Now the old perception is changing that is Graduates from Madrasas are only good for the religious activities they cannot cop-up with modern education. Now in Jamia Nagar people graduated from Madrasas can be seen everywhere speaking good English. And they get jobs as a translator from Arabic to English and vise-versa to many government and non-Government organization and companies within the country and abroad. All became possible with the collaboration of the head department of English Darul Oloom Deoband Mufti Obaidullah and Dynamic Training Services for many years.

A certain number of Students are of the people from Gulf countries living in India in order to get higher education, gets benefit of the quality service of this institution. Besides this public service Mr. Shifley offers corporate service for the groups and companies who have more than fifteen employees. They sign the contract of minimum six months of English training for their employees. Companies need to pay a certain fee to Dynamic and then Dynamic provides all the course materials and teachers and handover the progress report to the client every month. In an interview with a journalist Mr Shifley revealed that they gave their service to corporate like Sharda University to train their students, Greater Noida, Employees of teletech in Gurgaon, and to the trainee nurses of All about staffing Connaught place so far.

In short Mr Shifley has re-engineered the English teaching industry in India. And it is a boon for the resident of Jamia Nagar in order to receive the communication in the English language and soft skill trainings.
Languages of the employees are the biggest barrier in terms of an employee management and a company growth. In the gulf countries they hire translators to communicate with the workforce. And for the workforce there are no chances to be promoted until they know either English or Arabic.

Dynamic has fulfilled our thirst of English and we as an Indian have a dire need of an institution of Arabic speaking the one who have the same quality as Dynamic have for English. Because of there are a lot of people who go to the gulf countries every year for an employment and they face language problems there, some time some of them losing their jobs because of it. Delhi is still waiting for some Arabic Educationist to come forward in order to serve the people for the Arabic Education. Learning Arabic in Arabic speaking country is difficult. As per an article of Daily Herald dated 28/03/2009

“…trying to learn Arabic in an Arabic-speaking country can be difficult. For one thing, Egyptians jump on any chance they get to practice English, even if they only know a few words. And spoken Arabic dialects are hard to master no matter which country you try to learn them in, because they're often so wildly different from standard Arabic that they seem like a different language”

For Indians it won’t be difficult to learn the dialects, because they face this problem even within the country. every five kilometers there are different dialects in India. If they would learn the standard Arabic They will be able to manage with dialects by living and talking with them.

As per Mr. Jonathan Shifley the owner of Dynamic Training, the key of learning any language of the world is spending time with the target language speakers.
