03 Innovative
As the world leader in international education, we’re paving new roads for learning – using technology, research and design. Here’s just a few examples of how we’re doing it:
- EF EPI
EF publishes the world's largest ranking of English Proficiency Index by country and is hailed as the world's most comprehensive benchmark of English proficiency.
- Design - Creative at EF
From animation and architecture to mobile apps and film – our creative teams examine design from every angle to ensure the perfect balance between form and function.
- Ed Tech
Our Learning Labs develop technology to create fundamentally better ways to learn.
- EF Research Network
In collaboration with Harvard, Cambridge and Peking Universities, we’re conducting ground-breaking research into the way language is learned.
What EF people say
"
The main thing EF has done to support my development is to allow me to try out my own ideas and provide me with the resources to realize them - creating a pretty special "learn by doing" environment.
"
"
EF looks like a large multinational company from the outside but operates like a startup on the inside. Fast paced, constantly evolving, ambitious.
"
"
There are less rules and structures than the places I worked in before. It's more entrepreneurial - meaning you are encouraged to break new grounds, develop your business ideas further.
"
"
Decisions are taken fast. There is an urgency to change and to achieve new targets. If you come up with a great idea I believe it will simply be realised faster in EF than in most other companies.
"
"
A friend who works for EF told me that to work for EF is like doing an exchange, but as an adult.
"
"
In a way you are first thrown in the pool and then you are asked whether you know how to swim! But it's a challenging and fun working environment.
"
"
I joined EF because of the opportunity to work on strategy and implementation across multiple projects, whilst being super hands-on. It's all about 'getting things done'.
