Testimonials
"Enrolling here in Osilla Institute was the best choice I made. I loved having a smaller class size because I got more one on one attention from the teacher and felt more comfortable speaking in front of others. I gained the experience and confidence I needed. In my 3 months here I had the greatest time ever and made some of the best friends a person could have. All the teachers were amazing!! They shared their knowledge and experience to us. They have also a very patient and approachable coordinator and staff and an understanding Director."

"I learned about Osilla Institute from my friends who attended this school for their PSW Program. The staff is very friendly and they will guide you through every step. They are well organized and very considerate. As for my instructor, Mr. Tashi is an awesome instructor. He is very funny and you won’t get bored in his class. He broadens your knowledge and gives realistic situations which help a lot in the learning process. If anyone asks me for a school for PSW, I won’t hesitate to recommend Osilla Institute!"
