.to E.F.A. Language School
A broad range of English language courses
Thank you for your interest in our English language courses, language holidays, and cultural courses in Torquay, the capital of the English Riviera.
The E.F.A. Language School has provided first-class language holiday courses for foreign students for twenty five years.
Our new E.F.A. Teaching Centre at Abbey Road, Torquay opened in April 2006.
The E.F.A. Language School offers a vast variety of English and foreign language courses, teacher training courses, language holidays, and much, much more...
This web site provides all important information and details of our courses, and on the different course types. If you have any questions on our language courses, please do not hesitate to contact us!
To find the right language school can be very difficult. It is a
fact, however, that a language is best learned where it is spoken
and when it is taught by native speakers. This way, learning the
language becomes natural and more interesting, and it is a lot of fun, too!
Combining lessons with a holiday is ideal - how about one of
our group courses (for secondary students, pupils aged 12 to 18, young adults aged 18 to 25, and for adults) at the English Riviera
in Torbay, one of England's finest holiday resorts? Or how about a personalised intensive or Business English course?
Learn English and have a lot of fun... while meeting new people in a new country, and maybe make life time friends. Each course is aimed at a specific type of client whose specific requirements we aim to meet.
We cater for beginners as well as advanced students, for the very young as well as for mature persons. You may choose brief high-intensity programs or the more relaxed medium and long duration courses. Although we offer both group and individual tuition, we guarantee individual attention to each student in the classroom.
Together with our standard general programmes, we offer English language courses for special cultural interest groups and for persons requiring English tuition for particular professional and technical purposes.

International School
We offer both young people and adults the opportunity to learn and practise English in Britain. Students from all over the world can enhance their English in our teaching centre in Torquay on the south-west coast of England.
Small classes
We offer General English Standard Courses, General English Holiday Courses, General English PLUS Courses, Small Group Courses, Private Intensive Courses, and Business English Courses. Most courses are available as group or small group courses, or on a one-to-one basis. All courses can be booked individually. The maximum number of students in a class is 15; usually it is even less, which ensures that every single student gets the attention he or she requires during each lesson. On the first day, all students take an entry test. Based on this test, students are sent to different classes. Instruction is also available in small group classes with three, four, or six student, and on a one-to-one basis.
Open all year round
Our school is open from early January to just before Christmas every year. New standard courses begin every Monday throughout the year. In addition to this, we offer special language holiday courses that include cultural activities and excursions at selected dates.
Experience and tradition
We are an innovative, flexible, client and learner centered organisation. Our goal is to combine language experience and language instruction in the land where it is spoken, and in an environment which is conducive to learning.
