Founded in 1991, EC (formerly named European Centre of English Language Studies) is a group of private English language schools committed to providing the highest quality English language training experience. Originally known as one of the oldest private English language schools in Malta, EC has since grown rapidly over the past years and has established a high reputation for excellence in language training. Today, EC has schools located in fascinating English speaking destinations all around the world, in order to offer independent students exposure to different cross-cultural ideas in vibrant living environments that will deepen their English communication skills and cultural understanding.
Students enjoy small class sizes that ensure sufficient individual attention and the help that students need in order to achieve their goals. The school utilizes a structured curriculum, level tests, student tutorials and frequent homework tasks to support learning. Each of the EC schools is equipped with modern facilities such as wireless internet connections, a multimedia room where students can send emails, a library for study and a cafeteria where students can relax and meet other students. Each EC school has a warm and pleasant atmosphere with dedicated staff offering a wealth of experience.
All EC centres in the UK are accredited by the British Council and are members of English UK, the national association of accredited English language centres.

Faculty Qualifications |
|
|
| The instructors are trained, fully-certified professionals. Many instructors have lived and traveled abroad and have extensive experience teaching English to students from around the world. The personal and academic qualities of the instructors make each uniquely qualified to offer meaningful language-learning opportunities and to care deeply about their students. |
|
|
|
| The school provides students with the opportunity to live in off-campus residences or enjoy a homestay experience. For students who prefer an independent lifestyle, off-campus residences provide more privacy and offer opportunities to interact with people in the community outside the school environment. The school also arranges homestays for those students who want to experience local culture first-hand as a member of a family and practice their conversational English. Students are encouraged to make their housing arrangements as early as possible due to the limited amount of space available. Private off-campus apartments are also available; however students must make their own arrangements. For more information, use the Contact Address to ask the school directly. |

The school is centrally situated in the heart of Cambridge, the world famous university town which lies approximately 50 miles (80km) north-northeast of London. The school is located near the central city library and the Market Square where local people enjoy visiting restaurants, shops and cafes. The school occupies an old charming British-styled building dating back to 1820, and is surrounded by educational institutions, cultural museums and many historical buildings.
Best known as the home of the University of Cambridge, the second-oldest university in the English speaking world, Cambridge is the one of the world's most popular student towns. It is a bustling student city with a reputation for academic brilliance and scientific discovery. Young people from all over the world enjoy the student life, around which this town has revolved for centuries.
Cambridge is one of Britain's smaller cities but, it is also one of the fastest growing. Today, Cambridge has a population of well over 100,000 and booming educational and high-tech industries. The city has retained the picturesque charm that has continuously delighted people from all over the world. Between three and four million visitors come to enjoy the city's delights every year. Its narrow streets and historic colleges are famous throughout the world, as are its legions of cyclists and the many long and narrow boats (called "punts") gliding down the willow-lined River Cam. There are various opportunities to enjoy sports, theatre, cinemas, pubs, and shopping. The blossoming festival culture, with its emphasis on popular music, film, and art, is a sign that there is always something to do in Cambridge. The University of Cambridge and the University of Oxford, collectively known as Oxbridge, are the two oldest and most famous universities in Britain. Both were found more than 750 years ago, and between them have produced a large number of Britain's most prominent scientists, writers, and politicians. |
