FELTOM is proud to celebrate the outstanding achievement of Ms Maria Mifsud from Alpha School of English, who has been named Tourism Worker of the Year for the English Language Learning (ELT) sector at the 2025 Malta Tourism Awards.
During this year’s AGM, three Board member seats were up for renewal: Ms Patricia Marshall, Mr Simon Mifsud, and Mr Daniel Mangani. FELTOM is delighted to confirm that all three members have reaffirmed their commitment to the Federation and its mission.
In a recent Schools & Agents Live Broadcast, we spoke with Jessica Rees-Jones, FELTOM CEO, about the groundbreaking new Malta Agent Training Course (MATC)—an initiative that marks Malta’s first comprehensive certification programme for international education agents.
ICEF has launched a new destination-focused certification programme, the Malta Agent Training Course (MATC), in partnership with the Federation of English Language Teaching Organisations Malta (FELTOM), via its professional training arm, ICEF Academy.
March has been an important month for FELTOM, marking key developments in the English Language Teaching (ELT) sector in Malta. With a continued focus on quality and sustainability, FELTOM remains committed to strengthening the country’s position as a recognised destination for English language learners.
In 2024, Paceville and St Julian’s achieved a significant milestone, becoming the first destination in Malta, Southern Europe, and the Mediterranean to earn the prestigious Purple Flag status. This global recognition, awarded by the Association of Town and City Management (ATCM), is a mark of excellence that only around 100 cities and towns worldwide have attained.
Since its establishment in 1989, the Federation of English Language Teaching Organisations Malta (FELTOM) has transformed the landscape of English language education in Malta. As we celebrated our 35th anniversary last December, we also had the opportunity to reflect on the journey that has made FELTOM the cornerstone of Malta’s ELT sector.
As we approach the close of 2024, FELTOM would like to take a moment to extend our warmest wishes to our esteemed industry partners and all of our member schools. This festive season is a time for celebration, reflection, and looking ahead, and we are truly grateful for the continued support, collaboration, and success we have experienced together throughout the year.
If you’re an education agent in Brazil, Colombia, or Japan with a focus on or interest in Maltese education providers, now is your last opportunity to secure a spot at FELTOM’s exclusive symposia. These events, happening next week, are specifically tailored to your region and offer a rare, immersive experience with the top players in Malta’s English Language Teaching (ELT) sector.
FELTOM (Federation of English Language Teaching Organisations in Malta) is excited to announce a series of upcoming symposia, bringing together agents, schools, and key players in the English Language Teaching (ELT) sector from around the world.
The Federation of English Language Teaching Organisations Malta (FELTOM) recently released its comprehensive 2023 report, and CEO Jessica Rees-Jones sat down for an exclusive Q&A session to discuss its key findings and implications for the industry.
This month, we turn our attention to five esteemed FELTOM schools located in the vibrant locales of Sliema and Gzira: AM Language, Berlitz | ELA, IELS, Inlingua Malta, and NSTS.
Following the difficult Covid-19 pandemic which brought to a sudden halt the growth of the English Language Teaching (ELT) sector, statistics for 2023 issued by NSO reported annual student arrivals of 78.6k, which is 6.1% lower compared to the 83.6k registered in 2019.
Malta, with its rich history, stunning landscapes, and vibrant culture, has become a sought-after destination for English language learners. At the heart of this Mediterranean gem, lies FELTOM, representing a network of accredited English language schools.
In the picturesque backdrop of Malta, nestled in the Mediterranean Sea, the FELTOM 2024 ELT Malta Workshop unfolded last February, offering agents a unique opportunity to delve into the world of English Language Teaching (ELT) amidst the rich cultural tapestry of the island.
The recent spike in local coronavirus cases has been very concerning. While FELTOM welcomes the new measures introduced by the government to safeguard the nation, the closure of all educational facilities and in-person training has dealt yet another blow to our already struggling industry.
BELS English Schools in Malta and Gozo have been in the industry for over 20 years. At BELS one can expect exceptional academic and managerial quality that is based on years of experience. BELS English schools in Malta and Gozo have been accredited by a number of reputable institutions in the industry.
