FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to all the most common questions about EF Education First.
When should I start preparing?
It’s best to start preparing for your language study abroad experience as early as possible — ideally 6 to 12 months before your desired start date. This gives you plenty of time to research destinations, choose the right course for your goals, and complete any visa, travel, and financial arrangements without stress.
What if I don’t understand the language when I start?
Don’t worry — you’re not expected to know the language before you arrive! EF Language Abroad programs are designed for students of all levels, from complete beginners to advanced speakers. When you start, you’ll take a placement test so we can put you in the right class for your current level. Our teachers are trained to help you feel comfortable and confident from day one, using clear explanations, interactive activities, and real-life practice.
What is the student-to-staff ratio at EF Language Abroad?
At EF Language Abroad, we pride ourselves on providing personal attention and support throughout your experience. While exact numbers vary by destination and time of year, our schools typically maintain a low student-to-staff ratio, ensuring you get the guidance and care you need. In the classroom, our average class size is around 12–15 students per teacher, creating an interactive and engaging learning environment where everyone can participate.
Can I earn college credit for my EF Language Abroad program?
Yes — many students are able to earn college or university credit for their EF Language Abroad experience! Because our language courses are academically rigorous and follow internationally recognized standards, some universities and colleges accept EF coursework for elective or language credits.
Are there payment plans for EF Language Abroad programs?
Yes — EF offers flexible payment plans to make your language study abroad experience more affordable and easier to manage. You don’t have to pay the full amount upfront. After you enroll, you can choose to pay in installments over time, with the final balance due 60 days before your program starts. Many students and families find this helpful for budgeting and planning ahead. Our team is happy to work with you to create a schedule.
