What is FELTOM?

In December 1989 the established English language schools in Malta founded a national body, the FEDERATION OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING ORGANISATIONS of MALTA (FELTOM), with the clear objectives to:

"set, improve, and ensure the maintenance of standards in all aspects of English language stays in Malta, primarily in the academic content but also in those services which together constitute the infrastructure requisite of a language stay."

FELTOM is the Maltese counterpart of English UK - the association of accredited private and state English language centres in Britain, and to MEI-RELSA - the Irish association of schools recognized by the Advisory Council for English Language Schools, to mention two other European EFL destinations.
