Eurocentres

Eurocentres is a leading language teaching provider and aims to contribute towards a better understanding among people everywhere by helping to bridge language, cultural and social barriers. The founder of Eurocentres, Dr. Erhard Wespi, a Swiss teacher, opened the first language school in Bournemouth in 1946. Ten years later, he met Gottlieb Duttweiler, the founder of Migros, the largest retail group in Switzerland and one of the most influential Swiss entrepreneurs. Today, the Eurocentres Foundation forms part of the Migros Cultural Percentage, a non-profit activity institution, dedicated to supporting cultural and educational activities. With key contributions in the development of the Common European Framework of Reference for Language (CEFR) for the Council of Europe, Eurocentres has defined today's quality standards for foreign language teaching. With coaching through the EUROCENTRES SUCCESS SYSTEM supported by the online campus my.Eurocentres, Eurocentres' students benefit from progress tracking and personalisation to learn languages in an efficient and sustainable way. The standardised systems enable students to seamlessly transition between destinations throughout the Eurocentres network during the same course. Eurocentres maintains a worldwide network of over 35 schools in attractive destinations on six continents. The company is headquartered in London. Eurocentres offers a variety of language courses from general language, exam preparation (IELTS, Cambridge FCE, Cambridge CAE, Cambridge CPE, TOEFL, DELF, DALF) to Business and Language & Culture courses.
