Support for ELICOS colleges – ELT, CRICOS and more
ELT Support is a group of experienced English language teaching professionals who work together to support the ELICOS industry to implement good practice effectively and efficiently.
We strive to make ELICOS clear and straightforward, not just in the initial application stage but also as colleges begin implementing their ELICOS operations and as they expand.
We can do this because of our extensive and varied experience in the industry going back to the 1990s, and 15 years of operating as a consultancy. We can support colleges at any stage of their ELICOS operation: our clients often return to us as their operations have grown and changed.
We have a close working relationship with NEAS,the ELICOS industry’s quality assurance champion.
Clients gain from our expertise, experience and integrity.
