Severe financial security breach

Severe financial security breach. I paid directly to Embassy Summer via an official payment link for my daughter’s (Alisa Chabatar) summer program (Aug 9-23). Your Irish partner agency, ‘English Plus Space’, unilaterally canceled the booking. Shockingly, Embassy processed the refund for MY direct card payment and sent it to the agency’s account, not back to my original card. Refunding a third party instead of the original payer is a major violation of anti-fraud and chargeback rules. I demand an immediate investigation and a refund to my original payment method.

Cancelled 48 Hours Before Departure — No Explanation, No Accountabilit

I am extremely disappointed by the way this situation has been handled. Just two days before my scheduled departure (this weekend!), I was informed by my local advisor that I am suddenly unable to travel. What makes this even more concerning is that my advisor was apparently only instructed to pass this message on to me, without being given any explanation or further information himself.

The only information I have received is that no EC school will be accepting any students this weekend. Beyond that, nobody seems able (or willing) to explain what has happened, why this decision was made at such short notice, or what I am supposed to do now.

My flights and travel arrangements have already been booked, and I am now left completely on my own to deal with the consequences of a decision that was communicated to me only 48 hours before departure.

I find this lack of transparency, communication, and accountability completely unacceptable. When students make significant financial and personal commitments based on confirmed travel and study arrangements, they should be able to expect reliable information and professional handling, especially when plans are suddenly cancelled at the last minute.

At this point, the entire situation feels deeply questionable. I expect a clear explanation of what has happened, who is responsible, and how EC intends to address the costs and disruption caused by this last-minute cancellation.

Excellent experience

I had an excellent experience at EC Malta, where I attended the Business English Mini Group 20 course for two weeks. The classes were dynamic, engaging and very productive. My teachers, Joseph and Graziela were outstanding, professional and highly supportive. I learned a lot and truly enjoyed the entire experience. I highly recommend EC Malta!

Study on EC English Malta was a dream!

Study on EC English Malta was a dream come true! Only left with good memories and a hearth full of joy. My wife and me booked a 2 weeks program, a too short time for all events the island can provide.

The school is in a good location in St Julians, with new facilities, clean and bright.

Besides the school and didactics, EC provides a unique environments: not only study English, but live Malta. Know more about the culture, the people, welcome and farewell events… simply memorable!

Last but not least, a huge thanks for my teacher Francesca Imm: simply the best teacher! Haha Kind, lovely person and a professional with a global way to embrace your students.

i An amazing experience at EC 30+!

​"My experience at the school was spectacular, especially for students over 30. I loved the dynamic that EC 30+ created with us, as well as the classrooms, the games, and the overall facilities. I also really enjoyed sharing experiences with people from other countries and learning about their cultures. I was very happy during my English course, I learned a lot, and I definitely recommend it!"

Thank you, EC Malta, for an unforgettable experience!
Everything was perfectly organized from the very beginning. The teachers were outstanding, especially Graziella, Angie, Rebekah, and Joseph. They were professional, supportive, and made every lesson interesting and enjoyable.

I highly recommend EC Malta to anyone who wants to improve their English while having an amazing holiday. Malta has everything you could ask for: vibrant nightlife, exciting attractions, breathtaking nature, fascinating historical sites, beautiful beaches, and countless adventures.

For me, it was the perfect combination of learning English and enjoying an unforgettable vacation.

Give it a try—you'll leave with improved English, wonderful memories, and new friends from all over the world.

Thank you, Malta! Thank you, EC Malta!

I love you EC, I love you Malta.

I gave this score because I felt very comfortable and happy at EC. I really enjoyed the classes and the teachers who taught me during these three months. Overall, my level of satisfaction is high. Before joining EC, I had not studied English for about 20 years, so being able to understand 60% to 70% of the classes was a great achievement for me. Now, I need to keep practicar to speak. Speaking fluently is my biggest challenge right now.

just clearfy few point to domenstrate some point

I have mentioned the mark of IELTS exam 5.0 band in the last review to domenstrate how much money you pay for not enough value.

On one hand, how is school has many brunches around, the teachers and directors can do what cause of the head office in other country so, no one can watch them.For instance, teacher like John murring can easily push to the next level without taking level test copperate with Aqeelah
Adams the manger do not know or do care about that few students have mentioned that the manger and has happened.

On the other hand, is a good school just on trips they have many tapes on trips if you want to enjoy without learning real English or have fun for short period one or two weeks I would probably sign there.

THANKS
