When Sri Lanka’s Leading Companies Invest in Communication
MAS operates across multiple sectors and employs thousands of people. Like the most successful organisations in the world, MAS understands one thing clearly — the ability to communicate confidently is not just a soft skill. It is a business advantage.
When MAS chose Headway Learning Solutions to deliver a DynEd NEO English Communication Programme for their staff, the goal was clear. Strengthen the English communication skills of over 40 participants — and give them internationally recognised proof of their improvement.
We are proud to announce that the programme has been successfully completed. Every participant who completed the programme received CEFR certification — the global standard for English proficiency, recognised by employers and institutions in over 40 countries worldwide.
How the 6-Month Programme Was Structured
This was not a short workshop or a one-day training session. The MAS programme ran for six months — a duration that reflects how real, lasting communication improvement actually happens.
The programme combined two powerful learning approaches that form the foundation of every HLS corporate English programme.
Participants used the neoStudy app for self-paced digital learning — building their English skills through structured listening, speaking, reading, and vocabulary exercises at their own pace. The AI inside neoStudy adapted to each participant’s level and performance. It gave more practice where it was needed. It advanced participants when they were ready.
Alongside the digital practice, an HLS trainer met participants regularly for live, interactive sessions. These sessions focused on real workplace communication scenarios — the kind of situations participants face every day at work. Email writing. Presentations. Customer interactions. Cross-functional communication.
Together, these two approaches created a blended learning experience. It was flexible enough to fit around busy work schedules — and structured enough to deliver consistent, measurable results.
What Makes DynEd NEO Different from Traditional Corporate Training
Many corporate English training programmes rely entirely on classroom sessions. A trainer comes in once a week, delivers a lesson, and leaves. Participants practise English for one or two hours — and then return to their regular work environment.
DynEd NEO works differently. Through the neoStudy app, participants build English skills consistently — not just during scheduled sessions. Additionally, the AI inside the platform tracks every participant’s progress in real time. HR Managers and L&D teams at MAS had complete visibility of the programme through a management dashboard — showing study time, completion rates, and individual progress throughout the six months.
This level of visibility makes DynEd NEO a genuine business tool — not just a training programme. It gives HR leaders the data they need to measure the return on their training investment with confidence.
The Result — CEFR Certified Communicators
At the end of the six-month programme, every participant who completed the programme received internationally recognised CEFR certification. This is not a participation certificate. It is a globally accepted qualification that demonstrates a measurable, verified level of English proficiency — one that employers, academic institutions, and international organisations recognise and respect.
For the participants — this certification adds real value to their professional profile. For MAS — it is documented evidence that their investment in their people delivered a measurable outcome. The kind of evidence that speaks clearly to any leadership team or board.
Beyond the certification, the change that matters most is visible in everyday work. Over 40 MAS staff members who completed this programme communicate with more confidence — in meetings, in emails, with colleagues, and with customers. That is the real return on investment.
