Hva betyr EF ALL THE WAY?

Traveling with EF must be safe at all stages and you have access to EF employees all the way on the journey. The EF experience starts before you even leave home. Our staff will provide both parents and students with all the information and support before traveling, and we will keep in touch, guide and help along the way, until you return home. That’s what EF ALL THE WAY means.

Before the trip

Before you travel, EF employees with great knowledge of your particular trip and your destination will be able to help you and answer any questions you may have. We will help you apply for a visa if you need it, and we respect your private information. Parents and students will be invited to a meeting ahead of the trip where our experts will give you all the details you need and prepare you for the new culture you will soon experience. Before the trip, you will also take a language test to determine your language skills so that we can make sure that you get the most out of your trip. You also get access to our online platform My EF  where you can get to know the other students you are traveling with.

The journey and arrival

At the airport you will be met by your tour guide who you will have contact with throughout the trip. All tour guides have been recruited and trained through a thorough training program. When you arrive at the destination you will be greeted by our local team who have great knowledge of the place to study.
