Education First
Education First is a global language education company, founded by Bertil Hult in 1965, who provide life-changing education for international citizens. For 50 year EF has been combining language training with cultural exchange to provide a wholesome language learning experience. Hult travelled to England from Sweden in the early 60’s and discovered that learning a language seemed to be most effective when you are surrounded by the language and culture, which led him to create Europeiska Ferieskolan (European Holiday School).
Combining language learning with traveling abroad (aka ‘Language Travel’), has helped thousands of people to learn a new language including the Seoul Olympic Games volunteers in 1988. EF even collaborated with Apple to create computer-aided language learning CD’s, and later went on to create online learning tools. They now provide their services in over 55 countries and are classed as the world leaders in international education.
