Filipino language, examination center feted with awards

MANILA, Philippines – BahnhofPH Language Training Center Inc., a Filipino-based language training and examination center founded by Sergei Bien Orillo, has received various prestigious awards in the last few weeks for its excellence in German language instruction and testing.

Legacy Awards 2023, the same organization that runs both the National Customers Choice Annual Awards and Best Choice Awards, named BahnhofPH as “Outstanding German Language Training and Examination Center,” and “Championing Philanthropic Leadership in German Language Training" in an award ceremony last August 26 at the Grand Ballroom of Okada Manila.

The Philippine Finest Business Awards and Outstanding Achievers 2023 also recognized BahnhofPH as "Most Trusted High Quality German Language Training Center'' on September 8 at the Hexagon Events Place in Quezon City.

BahnhofPH became an Associate Member of The Association of Language Testers in Europe (ALTE) Small-Scale Category just last month. The ALTE is an association of language test providers committed to improving language instruction and testing. They organize training and conferences on language assessment in addition to auditing European language examinations. BahnhofPH's admittance to the association marks the first time the Philippines has been part of the ALTE.

Orillo founded BahnhofPH on February 14, 2020, only a month before the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns began. Bahnhof, the German word for "train station," reflects the company's mission to lay the railway for students to learn German to to keep them on track.

BahnhofPH offers both face-to-face and online instruction. They are open to any skilled professionals who wish to work and live in Germany but also cater to agencies abroad.
