Australia’s peak body for English language providers, English Australia, has partnered with pan-European quality agency association EAQA as part of its Partner Agency Program launched last year.

Six additional agencies from across Europe are completing their applications to join the European Association of Quality Agencies which has tripled its membership since launching a little over two years ago. Representing over 11 countries the only European-wide agent association met for its second annual AGM in London this month.

Recruitment efforts during the the European Association of Quality Agencies's first two years have paid off with the addition of nine new members from agencies across Western, Central and Eastern Europe. Education agencies from Ireland, the Netherlands, the UK, Malta and the Czech Republic have joined.

The European Association of Quality Agencies (EAQA) has been recognised by ICEF and FELCA as an accredited agency association. Established in 2011, EAQA aims to support agents in European countries were there is no established national agency association.

A new association to represent the many international education agencies operating across Europe was launched this summer in a bid to support industry development on the continent.
