Language Travel and Educational Fairs

I have been rather busy promoting the school this month.

September is the time for agent fairs and it is a period when AClass Academy of English reconnects with old business contacts and meets new agents who may be interested in working with us.

Imagine, if you like, speed-dating for Language schools. Everyone has 20-30 minutes per meeting to explain a little bit about the school and what sets them apart from the competition. Then if you think you match up, you swap contact details and take things from there.

The best part of all this is definitely the scheduled social events such as the Language Star Awards which involve a glitzy ceremony of sorts to promote the movers and shakers in our industry.

First FELTOM Malta All-Round Success

Well this weekend saw lots of activity for the Maltese EFL community as agents from around the world descended on the Radisson Blue Resort in St Julian's. The three-day event was organised by FELTOM to celebrate their 20th Birthday and was sponsored by various local businesses and Language Travel Magazine, which has its finger on the global EFL industry's pulse.

AClass were there ( yes, little old me) meeting with quality agents in an informal atmosphere. The mood was upbeat with agencies and schools alike looking towards a positive 2010. We explained to them that we offer all kinds of courses from General English to Business English, Medical English and Aviation English.

The event was well attended and very well-organised thanks to the hard work of all the FELTOm board members. A big thanks goes out to them.
