Partnerships are central to our work. We collaborate with organisations across education, government, tourism and industry to support our members, promote the UK as a leading destination for English language study and strengthen the English language teaching sector. Together, we create opportunities, share expertise and help ensure the UK remains a world-class place to learn English.

Working together for a stronger sector

Strong partnerships help us deliver more for our members and the wider sector. By working with organisations in the UK and around the world, we can share expertise, influence policy, promote quality and create new opportunities for English language teaching.

Our partners help us:

  • promote the UK as a leading destination for English language study
  • support quality and excellence in English language teaching
  • provide valuable services, insights and opportunities for members
  • contribute to research, policy development and sector advocacy
  • create events, networking opportunities and professional development programmes

These partnerships enable us to deliver greater value for our members and help the sector respond to opportunities and challenges.
