It was initially called Yogyakarta Indonesia Language Centre (YILC), Wisma Bahasa has been running Indonesian Language training programs for multi-ethnic learners requiring Indonesian language services for general and specific purposes.

With more than 34 years of experience Wisma Bahasa has shown that in order to maintain its position as market leader amongst Yogyakarta language training institutions, it has had to provide highly consistent and high quality language service through a commitment to continuous improvement. From one type of language service in the early years, now the organization has improved and expanded its product by providing high quality education and training services for those who need to improve their bahasa Indonesia or Indonesian language skills for occupational, migration or study purposes. We provide courses not only language, but also cultural studies, such as batik painting, traditional dancing, and cooking. The bahasa Indonesia or Indonesian language course program consists of intensive and specialized courses, which will be conducted for individuals as well as groups classes.
Wisma Bahasa provides leading programs such as Indonesian language course and Javanese language course. For those who wish to have distance learning, we also provide e-learning program or learning Indonesian language on line and also provide class in Jakarta. Our new program, immersion course, will be the best choice for those who wish to enhance their communication skills in bahasa Indonesia and to help them acquire information relevant to their job and needs by immersing them in a community of their choice.
