By TCN Special Correspondent,
Azamgarh: When Vishal and Madhu, a young married couple in Azamgarh, decided to live and work together, they thought of doing something unique. Instead of establishing an institution for conducting run of the mill ‘English speaking course’, their idea culminated into “Advance Phonology Centre” (http://www.apcindia.org/).
The APC is an institution for overall personality development. It is a place where, according to Vishal Bharti, director, a congenial environment is provided for learning. Students are encouraged to shed their inhibition in the warm-up session prior to actual learning.

Nadeem Ahmad, an alumnus of Shibli National College from where he passed NCPUL diploma course in Computer, joined APC as a student. He not only successfully completed the course but impressed the Director for securing a faculty position. Nadeem’s (physically handicapped) success beacons others to overcome physical and mental barriers and move ahead in life. How APC affects personality change? A beaming and radiant Nadeem is the answer.
An interaction with students, Counselor and faculty members of APC was a pleasant experience. They all were praising the untiring effort of Mr. Vishal Bharti @ Pattu Sir, in turning the Centre into an amicable place of learning.
APC’s contribution in helping secure good career position can be gauged from the following selected placement list:
