English UK & Education is GREAT
English UK is a Department for International Trade accredited sector trade association. This means we are recognised by the Department for International Trade (DIT) as the leader of the UK's English language teaching sector and act on behalf of the DIT to support the UK ELT sector.
One of the ways we do this is by enabling small to medium-sized UK educators to access DIT Tradeshow Access Programme (TAP) grant funding. We can do this as an accredited sector trade association and a DIT recognised TAP trade challenge partner. We have hosted TAP funded participants in Education is GREAT branded villages (UK pavilions) at: ICEF Berlin 2018; ICEF Dubai 2019; and ICEF Mexico-Colombia 2019.
Details of the 2019/20 supported TAP events will be available as soon as we receive confirmation from the Department for International Trade.
