With an accreditation from all the major language-learning agencies, and with prestigious awards from organizations such as the Study Travel Star Awards, the EC name has become synonymous with a quality English language education. EC works to help each student meet their language goals with personalized learning programs, with lessons that play on each student's strengths and improve their weaknesses, and by fostering relationships with fellow students from the very beginning. This specialized, award-winning treatment is so affirming and helpful that it's been given the name "The Orange Carpet Experience." Students will be able to choose from General or Intensive English classes; Business English; University Pathways; an academic semester or year; or studying for the IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC, or Cambridge English exams.

The Los Angeles campus of EC lets students learn English in a location known for fun in the sun. At this location, students can study General or Intensive English, stay for an academic semester or year, study for the TOEFL and Cambridge English exams, or study the vocabulary specific to their chosen career or university.

Los Angeles is full of sites that are historically and culturally important to those who speak the English language, and a quick trip into Hollywood will let students experience Hollywood Boulevard, see the Hollywood sign up close, and find the star of their favorite celebrity on the Walk of Fame. With Disneyland only two hours away, Los Angeles is the perfect place to experience American culture while learning the English language.
