Our partnership with LFEE has produced a successful team of experienced and fully qualified native-speaker teachers, committed to promoting English language and English-speaking culture in Europe. This is our 8th year under this European Union programme and our expertise in delivering In-Service training courses is now recognised by many National Agencies.
