For the first time since formation of the association, English UK now has over 360 members in subscription. While English UK remains the world’s leading language teaching association, it continues to reflect the diverse make up of the ELT sector in the UK. With private sector members ranging from small independent specialist schools to centres that are part of global groups and around a third of the membership comprising of ELT departments in state sector universities and colleges, whatever type of provision agents and students are looking for, one of the English UK member centres will be able to assist.
At the English UK Board meeting yesterday, membership of the following 7 centres was formally ratified: EF International Language School, Oxford; Millfield School;   UKHELP4U; Exsportise Ltd; Rose of York Language School; Central Language School and Milton Keynes College. To find out more about these new members, or indeed any of our existing members, please use the course search on this website. http://www.englishuk.com/search/basic_search.php

The LTM (Language Travel Magazine) star awards as voted for by the general public and industry peers  has voted English UK as their Language Association of the Year.

We are now taking bookings for the popular English UK Welfare Officers’ Course (WOCC) which runs from November to April. The WOCC is a must for all experienced and inexperienced Welfare Officers and is the only qualification of its kind designed specifically to serve the needs of welfare officers practicing in the ELT sector.
