EAQUALS 2018


For more than 15 years, International House Bucharest has offered high quality services to its partners and has been famous for the English courses it provides.

The awards received over the years have proved that the motto “Happy Learners are Effective Learners” stands for a measurable reality, and the 11 out of 12 points of excellence received after the last Eaquals inspection increase the level of trust and the dedication of our partners in carrying on their cooperation with the number 1 centre for language teaching in Romania.

International House Bucharest is a member of the most rigorous European association that supervises the standards for teaching foreign languages: the European Association for Quality Language Services – EAQUALS. During the latest inspection in March 2018, carried out jointly by quality inspectors from IHWO London and EAQUALS, all the international standards for a foreign language centre have been checked:

During a 4-day very strict inspection, the EAQUALS inspectors monitored 49 specific quality standards, grouped under 12 chapters:

  1. Teaching

  2. Academic Management – Curriculum and Syllabus

  3. Academic Management – Progress Assessment and Certification

  4. Academic Management – Quality Assurance

  5. Academic Resources

  6. Other Services to Course Participants

  7. Staff Contracts, Terms and Conditions

  8. Qualifications, Experience and Training

  9. Communications

  10. Information

  11. Premises

  12. Management and Administration

All the teachers were observed in the teaching process, at all levels and for all types of courses in progress at that time (Business English, English for young learners, Romanian for foreigners, etc.); also, all the IH employees were interviewed and all the working procedures were analysed thoroughly and according to the latest developments in the area.

And we scored 11 points of excellence out of the maximum of 12!
