EAQUALS Accreditation and Membership.
Finally, we are also extremely proud to be full members of EAQUALS – the European Association for Quality Language Services – a pan-European association of language training providers. It is the only international association of language schools that has a formal inspection scheme to verify the quality offered by members. The aim is to promote and guarantee quality in language teaching institutions and to achieve this aim EAQUALS has created a demanding set of criteria for membership and accreditation.
There are very few privately-owned independent English language schools who have achieved membership of EAQUALS.
