Why choose ESL?

We guarantee the lowest prices on all adult courses. If you find the same programme cheaper directly with the school or with another agency, we'll refund 100% of the difference.

More than half of our new students contact us after a recommendation from a friend or relative. Last year, 97% of our students claimed they would recommend ESL.

Before, during and after your stay, our multilingual team are here to ensure you have a memorable experience. In the unlikely event that anything should go wrong during your time away, we're here for you.

Unlike some other agencies, our service is completely free of charge and includes organising your course plan, accommodation, transfers, visas and any further communication with the school or destination.

At the Study Star Travel Awards, ESL - Language Travel has been voted "Star Agency Western Europe" 5 times, entitling us to the “Lifetime Award”, which recognises excellent service provided by professionals in the language travel industry. ESL is the only travel abroad agency in the UK to have received this prestigious award.

ESL – Language Travel is accredited by quality control organisations in the tourism and education industries.

ESL participates in the Swiss travel industry’s travel guarantee fund, which promises to reimburse you in the unlikely event of your service provider going bankrupt or entering insolvency after you depart.

ESL’s influence with partner schools means increased security for you. We have organised language studies abroad for over 20 years, placing thousands of students all over the world and creating strong local relationships in the process.

Every decision taken within ESL is considered in terms of sustainability because ESL – Education believes passionately in sustainable development.

You can trust our team to have the latest information. Maintaining a strong relationship with our partners through regular visits enables us to keep up with local developments. What’s more, many members of our ESL team take language courses at our partner schools themselves!

Using feedback from students, and based on our educational background, we can offer you innovative and unique programmes.

With decades of academic experience, we understand the changing needs of language learners.

As well as academic excellence and a positive environment, a partner school must provide small class sizes at a range of levels, a great location, modern facilities and accommodation, first-class teaching and an exciting activities programme (and much more). All of our partners are accredited by reputed national and international bodies.
