Many NEAS 2015 conference goers remarked on being torn between attending one session over another, such the calibre of presenter at this years event.  To partly overcome this embarrassment of riches, we have received approval from many speakers to post their powerpoint presentations online.  It is a testament to the commitment that our sector has to quality, that NEAS' 2015 Conference presenters have consented to their presentations being published in this way.

The range of topics were clustered under the topic areas of International, Strategic Management, Innovative Practice in Teaching and Research.  Speakers were drawn from english teaching and related education providers, the commercial sector, government as well as VET, Higher Ed and English Teaching peak bodies.  Representation from offshore centres was also extant, as well as that from senior polical figures and industry leaders.  So take a look!

This month's NEAS marketing in Study Travel Magazine seeks to inform our stakeholders on the diversity and range of Quality Endorsed ELT providers that have engaged with the NEAS stakeholder driven Quality Assurance model.  NEAS Chief Executive Mark Raven stated that; 

  "our unique model of model of Quality Assurance measurement,provides the most comprehensive means of confirming a provider's standing amongst their most demanding critics ... their students."  

Providers who engage with the NEAS Quality Endorsement join a culture and network of committed language teaching professionals - a network of which agents, students, their families and international pathway providers have all come to value.  So if you are agent, advise your students to look for the NEAS Quality Mark and if you are a student, insist on a NEAS Endorsed provider!

 

Many new and existing ELT centres could occasionally use a hand in order to cover all bases to achieve that all-important Quality standard.  

In recognition of the fact that its impossible to have all the expertise "on-tap", NEAS Assist connects quality consultants with providers. Whether you are redeveloping your curriculum or looking to open a new centre, NEAS Assist is able to link you with the right help. Give us a ring +61 2 9954 6077 - it costs nothing to find out!
