Twin Group

Twin Group is a UK-based education and training provider founded in 1995. Over the past three decades, the organization has grown from two employees to a team of more than 300, serving students and learners from over 90 countries worldwide.

Twin Group welcomes individual students and groups to British English courses offered throughout the year at its centers in London, Eastbourne, and Dublin. Summer centers across the UK and Ireland welcome students aged 8 to 18 for programs at locations including Eastbourne, Chichester, Leamington Spa, and London Eltham. Several types of accommodation are available, including residence, homestay, and hotel options, along with an excursion program. Twin also offers Foundation and BTEC qualifications, English plus work experience, and exam preparation courses, including IELTS and Edexcel.

Twin Group's English Language Centers offer courses designed to help students at all levels improve their English through a variety of approaches. With over 25 years of experience in English training, the centers provide both standard and tailor-made programs to meet individual or group learning objectives.

The focus may be on improving writing, reading, and listening skills or on developing greater fluency and conversational abilities, depending on the student's goals. Program options include short holiday courses for those with limited time, longer-term study for deeper immersion, and specialized tracks such as exam preparation for IELTS and Edexcel qualifications.

At Summer Centers, young students aged 8 to 18 study English in the classroom and then practice what they have learned through real-life activities and excursions. The approach combines formal tuition with cultural exploration, helping students see new places, learn new skills, and build confidence in using English outside an academic setting. The health, well-being, and welfare of young students remain the top priority throughout.

Twin Group operates across several distinct educational divisions:

• English Language Centers: year-round schools in London (Greenwich), Eastbourne, and Dublin offering standard and tailor-made English courses, exam preparation for IELTS and Edexcel, University Foundation programs, and English plus work experience,
• Summer Centers: seasonal programs across the UK and Ireland for students aged 8 to 18, combining English tuition with activities and excursions,
• School Group Travel: custom educational tours to England and Ireland for groups of students aged 14 to 16, organized in partnership with European tour operators,
• Internships and Work Experience: placements for UK and international students in sectors including creative industries, hospitality, and engineering, with over 15 years of experience,
• University and Higher Education Services: internationalization services, recruitment support, and career-enhancing programs for higher education institutions.

Twin Group has earned ST Star Award Superstar status after winning Study Travel Magazine's reader-voted Work Experience category five times. It is one of only 13 providers to have reached the Superstar level.

The organization works with over 1,500 employers across the countries where it operates, providing placement and recruitment services for students and job seekers. Twin has collaborated with more than 4,000 employer contacts in its network to place candidates in roles across multiple sectors.

Twin has also participated in joint programs involving more than 7,000 students in a single year.

Twin Group takes its name from its founders, twin sisters Caroline and Jacqui Fox, who started the business in 1995 from a bedroom in Lewisham, southeast London. Both sisters remain major shareholders in the organization.

The company began by offering summer programs for juniors and international students at St. Dunstan's College in 1996. By 2000, Twin had acquired English centers in Eastbourne, Salisbury, and Oxford and achieved Investor in People accreditation.

In 2005, Twin acquired Anglo Training, which became WorkUK and is now Twin Work Experience, adding paid work experience placements in the hospitality industry. The company won its first Leonardo da Vinci contract in 2006 and organized EU-funded internships across Europe.

In 2021, Twin secured Turing Scheme contracts and opened a new center in Valencia, Spain. In 2022, the organization began developing an empathetic AI avatar interface to provide efficient employability advice alongside human engagement.

Twin Group offers a range of accommodation options to suit different needs and budgets. The organization has established trusted relationships with hotels, hostels, and host families across its center locations.

Several meal plan options are available:

• B & B (bed and breakfast),
• Half-board (breakfast and dinner),
• Full board (breakfast, packed lunch, and dinner).

Accommodation is arranged to match student preferences and can include residence, homestay with a local family, or hotel placement. For school group travel programs, accommodation is available in hotels, hostels, or with host families, with local support provided on the ground.

Twin Group offers a wide range of activities and excursions as part of its programs. Summer Center students aged 8 to 18 enjoy a blend of English tuition, activities, and cultural excursions designed to help them practice English in real-life settings while making friends from around the world.
