We advance education by providing quality assurance services for everyone in the English Language Teaching community.

The NEAS Quality Assurance Framework establishes and upholds high standards, supports centres in demonstrating quality in their programs and services, and provides guidance in continuous improvement processes. 

The NEAS tick promotes the recognition of quality in education and training. Students, parents, education agents, teachers and professional staff recognise the high value of being NEAS quality assured. NEAS quality assurance is highly regarded by regulatory and government bodies.

NEAS provides a number of services that support the English Language Teaching (ELT) Community. This includes quality assurance and endorsement for ELT Centres, professional development for teachers, managers and professional staff and approval of ELT teacher qualifications.

NEAS also quality assures English Language Teaching Qualifications across all sectors and showcases best practice in the ELT Community through recognition of premium products and longstanding commitment to quality assurance.
