Over the last 20 years, ICELDA has developed and designed solutions for apparently intractable language problems, for universities, universities of technology, and private education institutions.
In all this time, we have not had a single dissatisfied client. Our language tests, courses and policies are targeted to meet our clients’ needs every time.

- We design and provide solutions to difficult language problems.
- We back up our designs with scholarly analyses and research.
- We exploit our extensive networks for the benefit of our clients.

- We stimulate postgraduate studies in the fields of language and literacy.
