The Federation of English Language Teaching Organisations in Malta (FELTOM) is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. Although the teaching of English as a foreign language was still in its infancy in 1989, a number of Maltese schools felt the need to come together to set up this Federation; whose goal then and now is still the same: to improve and maintain quality standards. Today, Malta is able to boast about being a reputable centre of excellence when it comes to the ELT sector. With 30 years of experience, FELTOM has become a recognised industry leader representing an estimate of 83% of total student arrivals in Malta. Over the years, it has worked hard for the ELT sector to become an economic pillar in its own right. As FELTOM we are always forward-looking and aim to continue contributing to the industry and the Maltese economy. As CEO I feel great satisfaction in being part of this ever-growing industry. To interact with the 20 exceptionally run, member schools that strive on a daily basis to provide quality & value for the students that choose to come to Malta to learn English. What is FELTOM? FELTOM was founded by ten established English language schools in 1989. Its founding members foresaw the protentional of the ELT industry in Malta and established this self-regulating, non-profit organisation, dedicated to promoting professionalism within the English language teaching industry by setting and maintaining standards in every aspect of a language stay. Mission Statement The objective of FELTOM is to set, improve, and ensure the maintenance of standards in, and direct the development of, all aspects and services which together constitute the requisites of an English language stay in Malta and to develop cooperation amongst licensed English Language Schools and strengthen the role of Malta as a destination for English language stays of quality.
