OUR PROGRAMS EF EXECUTIVE Our study-abroad immersion courses provide the full experience of living the culture and the language. Available at EF Language Centers worldwide and at our exclusive EF Executive Language Institutes. This is the fastest and most effective way to learn a language.
EF ENGLISHLIVE Our teacher-guided, flexible (virtual) courses have become the industry benchmark. EnglishLive Premium provides student-specific learning paths. EnglishLive Premium Plus offers all the benefits of EnglishLive Premium with additional private classes.
EF LANGUAGE TESTING Knowing how you are progressing is critical to learning a language. Without seeing real progress in realistic timescales, learner confidence and motivation can be undermined. That’s why EF offers rigorous school placement tests, such as our Business English Skills Test (EF BEST), end-of-level tests and the world’s first free standardized English test: EFSET. EFSET is the world’s first free standardized English test. Built to the same exacting standards as other tests such as TOEFL, TOEIC and BULATS, EF’s EFSET is absolutely free. Visit efset.org.
EF PROFESSIONAL Our semi-scheduled, teacher-guided courses combine scheduled face-to-face EF TeacherTM-led classes with the flexibility of virtual learning through EnglishLive. They also include unlimited conversation classes plus one-to-one classes after every study unit.
EF SOLO Our self-study virtual courses cover General English as well as specific industry and functional short courses. Students have full access to EF’s digital learning content with EnglishLive Solo.
