Expert consultation starts at home

For a successful course you need support from day one. That’s why we provide expert course planning. Then we equip you with a pre-course, pre-departure tools and a coach to guide you on your journey.

1. SUPPORT EQUALS SUCCESS

A consultation will assess your language abilities, needs and expectations – key to finding the right course. Once enrolled you’ll be assigned a language coach who will call you to help you plan your learning goals.

2. ILAB PRE-COURSE

Prepare at your own pace with our iLab precourse. Take our Travel or Survival English Courses to make the most out of your time abroad. Learn about your host city and meet future classmates in our iClub community.

Follow a personalized course of study

With our learning package you can virtually learn all the time – and we are with you every step of the way to guide you to success.

1. OPTIMIZED PLACEMENT

On your first day at your EF school, you will take the Efekta™ Fluency Test, to accurately identify your study level as well as your strengths & weaknesses. Using this information, a personal study plan is designed for you.

2. REGULAR STATUS CHECKS

Your EF Academic Advisor will check in with you periodically to make sure your goals coincide with your progress. They’ll give you feedback from a variety of sources, giving you a clearer picture of your development.

3. SPECIAL INTEREST COURSES (SPINS)

Adding a whole new dimension to your course, SPINs allow you to make your course your own. Study topics that genuinely appeal to you while working your way to fluency!

4. QUALITY EF LEARNING MATERIALS

By using our very own EF textbooks and dynamic curriculum you benefit from our over 40 years of experience and expertise. Your EF teacher has unlimited resources to draw from in order to meet your personal needs.

5. ILAB TUTORIALS

Your teacher will assign tutorials for you to complete in the iLab. Work on pronunciation, accent reduction, grammar or listening comprehension. Reinforce your face-to-face lessons – key to lasting success.

6. ON-GOING PROGRESS TRACKING

The key to a successful course is flexibility. That’s why we constantly monitor your progress with iTracker. By always knowing where you stand, your teacher can help you to optimize your studies as needed.

7. EXAM RESULTS & LEARNING SUCCESS

Your final EF test scores, your EF Course Certificate, along with any official language exams you take are excellent proof of all the progress you’ve made. They also are an attractive supplement to your CV.

8. FULL PROGRAM OF ACTIVITIES

We know that your time abroad is limited that is why our Activities Director is also always available to help you plan and book trips. The choice is yours – join a scheduled EF trip or venture out on your own!

Continue your learning post-course

At the end of your course, make sure to take advantage of your iLab membership. Keep in touch with your new EF friends through iClub or maintain your fluency level for lasting results with the post-course.

1. POST-COURSE & LANGUAGE COACH INCLUDED

Maintain your fluency or continue to make progress in the iLab. The free post-course is available from three to six months depending on your course. Plus, your language coach will also be phoning you to help set goals and plan your online study at home.

2. RELIVE YOUR EXPERIENCE IN THE ICLUB

Keep in touch with your classmates through our exclusive EF community called iClub. Available through the iLab – it’s a great way to keep your new EF friends close. It is also a way to get to know other EF students and alumni from around the world!
