Eton Institute has achieved international accreditation from the European Association of Quality Language Schools (EAQUALS), a benchmark for excellence in language training.

Dubai, UAE -- (SBWire) -- 04/24/2012 --Eton Institute, the largest training centre in the UAE, is pleased to announce its achievement in being awarded the internationally recognised accreditation from EAQUALS, joining a select few language schools around the world who conform to the highest standard of quality in language training and becoming the first in the UAE to offer internationally accredited courses in over 100 languages.

Joanna Watson, Director of EAQUALS Accreditation and Consultancy Services wrote, “Eton Institute was inspected by EAQUALS in December 2011 and met the high standards required for EAQUALS accreditation. The teaching, the course programmes, the course organisation, the learning resources, testing and evaluation were all judged to be of high quality. It was found that the institution takes great care to protect the welfare of its clients and staff, and all publicity materials produced by the institution are accurate and truthful.” The EAQUALS inspectors identified community initiatives and support to the students as an area of excellence in the institution.

Founded in 1991, EAQUALS is a pan-European Association of language training providers, aiming to promote and guarantee quality in modern language teaching institutions. To achieve these aims, it has established and published a demanding set of criteria for membership. These criteria are laid out in the form of a Code of Conduct, Student and Staff Information Charters and are followed through by a rigorous inspection scheme.

“We are extremely pleased and proud to be leading the way in providing the highest standard of quality and support to our students, that is unmatched,” said Sue Brett, the Head of Academic Studies at Eton Institute. She added, “The accreditation illustrates Eton’s commitment to maintaining excellence throughout its dealings. EAQUALS is known to be a measure of quality and we are delighted our standards have been acknowledged after a rigorous inspection. We are particularly pleased that our CSR efforts have been recognised as an area of excellence and we hope to build on its success.”
