EC wins Language Travel's star innovation award

EC Malta’s Club 30+ programme won this year’s LTM Star Innovation of the Year Award which rewards the school that has introduced the best new product or service which most appeals to students and agents. This is the second year in a row that EC has scooped this prestigious award.

The award winning Club 30+ programme offers a unique learning experience for the over 30s in Malta. In dedicated classes students focus on topics relevant to their needs and school facilities are tailored to their requirements.

“As an organization EC has a culture that allows innovation to flourish, based around promoting the good ideas of our creative staff. The ability to come up with new ideas and turn them into reality is a very special talent indeed,” said Andrew Mangion, Executive chairman for EC.“We are all therefore very proud recipients of this award. At EC we feel this continued recognition is a testament to the hard work and creativity of all our team.

Many renowned educators and agencies were at this year’s LTM Star Award, sponsored by TUI Travel and University of Essex International Academy. The event was held on September 4th with 750 attendees gathered at the Hilton Park Lane London to watch the nominees go head-to-head for the fifth year running.

The Language Travel Magazine Star Awards act as the most prestigious international awards within the English language industry. The awards acknowledge the essential mutual links between organizations which offer education and work experience to international students and organizations which send students overseas for an international educational experience.

In 2009 EC was recognized in this category for its highly successful Freestyle Programme breaking further ground as the first Maltese based company to ever be nominated or win a star award.

EC is a Maltese owned group which today consists of nine schools in four countries on three continents.
