starting from/on

[Tan Elaine]

The following is an advertisement on English courses.

Courses starting from 3 January 2012:

General English for adults part-time

IELTS preparation

General English for adults full-time

Business English

Is 'from' the correct preposition? I was taught that it should be 'starting on". So I am confused, why 'from' is used.

Should it, in fact, be 'from' or 'on'?

Thanks.

If that is the date that all the courses start, use "on". You could use "from" if they will be starting in a staggered fashion from 3rd of January onwards.

I would say "an advertisement for English courses."
