Launched in 2006, the FELTOM Accreditation Scheme sets the benchmark for excellence in English Language Teaching (ELT) schools and services across Malta.
Overseen by the FELTOM Accreditation Council, this quality assurance programme ensures that English language schools meet FELTOM’s rigorous standards. Schools undergo regular audits to verify compliance, with qualified and impartial inspectors appointed by the Council to assess both main schools and annexes. These inspectors conduct thorough evaluations and determine the outcomes of each review.
Accreditation is granted on a three-year cycle, with interim review visits ensuring continuous compliance. The scheme establishes quality standards across six key areas:
By maintaining these high standards, FELTOM ensures that accredited schools provide a safe, effective, and enriching learning environment for students.
Management will continue to enhance and refine processes for the benefit of students.
Courses and additional services are thoughtfully crafted to enrich the student experience and maximise learning outcomes.
The security, well-being, access to information, and opportunities for social and leisure activities of students are effectively supported and prioritised.
The facilities, environment, and learning resources effectively support and enhance students' academic experience.
All promotional content complies with ethical standards, ensuring accuracy and consistency throughout.
Members maintain structures that effectively support the delivery of services to minor students, prioritising their safety and well-being.
The Benefits of FELTOM Accreditation for Language Schools
Achieving FELTOM Accreditation is a significant milestone for language schools, offering several key advantages:
FELTOM Accreditation elevates the reputation of member schools both nationally and internationally. It demonstrates a commitment to delivering high-quality education, reassuring students that they will receive the best possible learning experience.
Accredited schools gain a distinct advantage in a competitive market. By differentiating themselves from non-accredited institutions, these schools are better positioned to attract a larger student base.
FELTOM-accredited schools gain exclusive access to a valuable network of professionals and resources within the FELTOM community. This network opens doors to growth opportunities and industry collaborations.
Achieving FELTOM Accreditation builds trust within the education sector, boosting the credibility of accredited schools. This, in turn, makes them more appealing to both prospective students and educational agents.
