The Status survey is a new venture by Language Travel Magazine, in association with the Association of Language Travel Organisations (Alto), which gathers comparable market data about all of the main language teaching markets in the world. This month, we look at the English language market in Canada.
If you would like to see the complete breakdown of data, including marketing spend per region and marketing budget analysis, and you are an agent (or a school that has completed or intends to complete the Status survey), please send us an email containing "Status survey web address" in the subject heading. We will then forward the web address to you.
