Our learning guarantee
Through the years, EF has relentlessly focused on perfecting the faster way to learn a language. Combining both research and experience, our EF Efekta™ System guarantees you’ll learn faster with great results. We are so confident that you’ll learn faster with our EF Efekta™ System that we actually guarantee your progress. Attend all of your classes, do all the assignments and we guarantee you will advance one course level every eight weeks (more time for higher levels). If you don’t, you will study for free until you do.
Progress you can expect
Discover how long you will need to study to reach your goals. Upon completion of your course, you will take the EFCELT (EF Cambridge English Level Test) to demonstrate your exit level.
How will you benefit from the Efekta™ System?
The Efekta™ System is designed to give you flexibility and variety in how you learn. You learn more in class because more time is spent speaking through communicative lessons and group projects. Then you reinforce your learning with innovative language lab (iLab) modules, which are assigned by your teacher to complement your classroom learning. Synchronized with your face-to-face lessons, the iLab allows you to focus on your exact needs - you study what you need most.
Optimized Efekta™ iLab tutorials
Your teacher will assign tutorials and optional modules for you to complete in our innovative language lab (iLab). These online exercises are synchronized with both your EF textbook units and your face-to-face classroom topics. All Intensive, General and Exam courses include structured iLab self study, allowing you to efficiently focus on the areas you need most. Work on pronunciation, accent reduction, or listening comprehension. You don’t even have to wait until you are at your EF school to benefit from our exciting iLab tools.
Engaging EF teachers at the heart of Efekta™
We know the difference a great teacher makes in language learning. All EF teachers are fully initiated in the Efekta™ System and have many years of experience. But what really sets EF teachers apart is that they are hand-selected for their personality, dedication and enthusiasm when it comes to your progress.
Small class sizes
Class sizes are maintained with an average of 12-15 (max. 17) students, so you receive personal and supportive attention.

How much will you learn
To calculate how much you can expect to learn during your language course, you must first set a realistic goal. Use this chart to plot your objective based on your current ability level, what level you would like to reach and how much time you can devote to learning. To find an indication of your current level, take our online English test. Or call EF for an in-depth personal consultation.
