The school is licensed by Malta’s ELT Council and has been an affiliate of the International House World Organisation since 2003, one of the most respected networks in English language teaching worldwide. Every one of our teachers is CELTA-qualified, and our lessons are built around communicative, practical work connected to real situations rather than rote learning. Students are carefully placed by level, encouraged to participate actively from the first day, and supported by regular testing and individual feedback so that progress is measurable rather than assumed. Behind the classroom, a full academic, administration, accommodation and activities team ensures that each student’s experience is as well organised as their studies. ## FAQs **Does IH Malta offer TOEFL preparation?** Yes. TOEFL preparation is available through one-to-one lessons rather than our group exam preparation courses. **Is the external exam fee included in the course price?** No. The external examination fee is paid separately. **Where can I find the latest exam dates?** External exam dates and availability can change, so they are not fixed on the website. Contact our team and we will help you find the latest registration information. **Does an exam preparation course guarantee that I will pass?** No. Your result will depend on your starting level, attendance, participation, independent study and performance on the exam day.
