How to check Eaquals accreditation and IALC membership

Eaquals accreditation covers quality assurance, academic management, teacher development, and the CEFR. The organization maintains separate directories for accredited and associate members, so each listing should be checked against the category shown.

IALC says its schools undergo rigorous inspection and form a network of leading, independently accredited language institutions.

To verify a school’s listed status, search the Eaquals directories by institution name and note its category. Then use IALC’s Find a School tool to filter by Italian and destination.

Italian-speaking regions of Switzerland

Switzerland's Italian-speaking area comprises Ticino and the southern part of Grisons. Italian has official status federally and in both cantons.

These regions are natural choices for language courses in Switzerland with everyday exposure beyond the classroom. Students are introduced to Swiss Italian, which is generally close to Italian, but has a special vocabulary.
