It has been a challenging year so far, with both the bushfires and coronavirus threatening the stability of our industry. Now more than ever, maintaining the quality of course delivery, student support and staffing through pro-active review and evaluation, professional development and continuous improvement is essential.  With this in mind, NEAS continues to offer opportunities for members, education agents and the broader ELT community through our quality review activities, professional development program, the NEAS Conference and information sharing.

NEAS has recently embarked on its own transformative journey and is inviting you to join us!

The team invite you to explore our transformed website, neas.org.au  The look and feel have improved with a colourful palette and user-friendly navigation features.  It’s now much easier to locate information on our quality assurance services, professional development and quality centres.  Fewer clicks means you can quickly find and register for our upcoming QLS workshops, NEAS Online Learning or Webinars.

NEAS is a founding member of the Quality Assurance in Language Education Network (QALEN) and was represented at this year’s symposium by NEAS General Manager, Ana Bratkovic.

Every organisation needs leaders that pursue quality. Whether in management, teaching or administration, a leader in English Language Teaching (ELT) influences the decisions of others through dedication and practice.
