LanguageCert has become a corporate partner of International Association of Language Centres to raise awareness of LanguageCert International ESOL, the next generation of English language qualifications, among IALC member schools.

Founded in 1983, the International Association of Language Centres (IALC) is a network of high-quality, independent language schools teaching their native language to international students in over 23 countries and over 100 destinations worldwide. IALC’s role is to guarantee the quality of its members, to build relationships with international study travel agencies as a major channel for international student enrolments and to provide a forum for sharing knowledge and best practice.

The IALC brand is recognised in the industry as a seal of quality. IALC ensures that member schools adhere to standards, are regularly inspected, uphold a code of ethics and a function with philosophy of continuous improvement. IALC schools are for people who want to attend an immersion language training programme, where a language is spoken. They provide a high level of individual attention, offer language courses with accommodation, cultural activities and expert advice, and are represented by study travel agencies worldwide.

IALC’s annual AGM and Workshop is renowned for its outstanding networking, high-quality contacts and business opportunities. The owners of world-leading independent language schools meet with directors of top agencies from around the world to do business, keep up-to date with industry issues and trends, and network in an important study travel market, with first class entertainment and hospitality that showcases the host city.
