Integration courses

Effective integration courses tailored to the needs of our participants.

A classroom filled with students wearing matching red and black uniforms. They sit at wooden desks, facing forward, with a few students engaging in conversation. The room has a colorful geometric-patterned wall that displays 'IPA 3' in bold letters. Several small potted plants hang from the ceiling and around the windows, adding greenery to the space. Light streams in through large windows on one side, illuminating the students.
