In the same group as the top quality ESE, Executive Training Institute (ETI) is the only language school in Malta which focuses exclusively on language training programs for mature adults and professionals. ETI offers a series of courses in English for Executives, Specialist English, General English, Corporate Training and Teacher Training. The training center is located in the heart of the coastal city St. Julian’s, which is famous for its tourism, entertainment and night life.
Megaliths, medieval dungeons and Calypso’s Cave – The Maltese Islands are positively mythic. The narrow meandering streets of their towns and villages lead to the main square, which is invariably dominated by the huge baroque church. As the countryside is dotted with medieval towers, wayside chapels and the oldest known human structures in the world, the Islands have rightly been described as an open-air museum.
The Maltese archipelago lies virtually at the center of the Mediterranean, 93 km south of Sicily and 288 km north of Africa. The archipelago consists of three islands: Malta, Gozo and Comino with a total population of over 400,000 inhabitants occupying an area of 316 square kilometers. The Maltese archipelago exudes the island’s hospitable mission. Genuinely friendly and welcoming, the Maltese have established a cosmopolitan reputation throughout the island’s rich history. Home to the Knights of Malta in the past, conquered or governed by a wide variety of conquerors, the Maltese islands have established themselves as a truly cosmopolitan archipelago.
St. Julians, Paceville, the location of many English language schools in Malta, is one of the liveliest areas of the Island, with banks, shops, restaurants, cafés, casinos, nightclubs, cinemas, a shopping center and most of the Island’s finest hotels.
“As the owners of my favorite English language school in Malta and one of my favorites in the world, I was very pleased to hear that the Claret Group had added the Executive Training Institute (ETI), a school there that focused only on Professional Language Training. As one of the first schools in my professional portfolio (ESE Malta) I have been working steadily with this group since 2003, and my clients of all ages have been extremely satisfied with their courses and accommodations. Students here will not only benefit from the extremely high standards that this group has for its schools, but they will also be able to stay in one of the 4-star hotels that they own on Malta, either in St. Julians, in walking distance of the school and in the center of the island’s entertainment and nightlife, or in the huge, newly-refurbished Salini Resort, away from the city and near some of the island’s best beaches. The school’s activity program and welcome to the student are extraordinary, and students will also be able to benefit from a lower cost of living in general on Malta and a lower cost for courses of this type than would be found in other Western English-speaking countries.”

Homestay
One of the best ways to learn more about Maltese people and culture is to choose homestay accommodation. All homestays are carefully selected and visited regularly to ensure consistently high standards. Homestays are in fact the accommodation of choice for the majority of students. The school and Marshall Language Services recommend this form of accommodation the most for language learning. Family life is informal and the people are welcoming, friendly and talkative, so students will have plenty of opportunities to practice their English with native speakers. By booking homestay accommodation, students will also not have to worry about shopping for food and preparing meals every day. Mealtimes are often the occasions in which families converse most with the students.
Additional executive homestay provisions and information
- Standard and Executive homestays are available
- Executive homestay includes a private bathroom and free Wi-Fi.
