Founded in 1983, the International Association of Language Centres (IALC) is a network of high-quality, independent language schools teaching their native language to international students. Located in the major capitals, university cities, beach resorts and historic towns worldwide, IALC accredited language schools provide effective language courses and cultural immersion for all ages, needs and interests.
IALC language schools are quality guaranteed through minimum standards, regular inspection, a code of ethics and a philosophy of continuous improvement. The schools are for people who want to learn the language where it is spoken, each providing a high level of individual attention. They offer language courses plus accommodation, cultural activities and expert advice and are represented by professional study travel agencies in most countries.
IALC is an association, run by members with the support of a professional secretariat in Canterbury, UK. The benefits of membership are accreditation, professional exchange and promotion under the IALC label.
