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. |
