Your Arrival in Malta
Welcome Pack
You will receive a Welcome Pack either on arrival at the airport, or at your accommodation. The Welcome Pack contains a map with useful information to help you make the most of your time in Malta. On the front of the Welcome Pack also is clearly stated the time and date that you are expected to arrive at EC Malta for your placement test.
Travel Time from Airport to EC Malta
Approx. 20 minutes by taxi or coach
How to get to school
On the first day, your host family will explain how to get to EC Malta in St Julians. They will help you find the nearest bus stop and tell you which route and numbers to take. The bus terminus in St Julians is conveniently located next to EC Malta. If you are staying in an EC residence, your Welcome Pack contains a map to guide you to school. Residences are within walking distance of the school.
Your First Day at EC Malta
The school's address is:
EC Malta, 'Language House', Marguerite Mangion Street, St.Julians, STJ 02, Malta.
Placement Tests
You should be in school at the time stated on your Welcome Pack. This varies according to the time of year; it is normally between 7:15am and 8am. This test assesses your key English skills (reading, listening, and written comprehension) and helps us place you at the right level for your ability. It is very important that you are not late as all new students need to be tested at the same time to ensure that you can all start your English course on time.
Welcome Talk
After completing the placement test (which normally takes 1.5 hours), our academic staff and customer service department will give you a welcome talk to introduce you more fully to EC Malta, its facilities and the Islands.
Lessons
You will be placed in your class by the start of the second module at 11:30am (on Monday), to begin your English lessons.
