History
English Path was established in November 2021 in Dubai as the English language division of GEDU Global Education [2]. Following its launch, the network expanded to the UK with campuses in London, Manchester, Birmingham and Leeds[5]. In February 2022, English Path opened its Malta centre, expanding its presence in Europe[8].
The growth continued in the summer of 2023 with the acquisition of the NCG Dublin School[3] in Ireland; originally founded in the 1970s as the Dublin Language Centre. They soon expanded and opened a new campus in Toronto, Canada. In December 2024, English Path extended its reach to Australia[7], France and Germany. Most recently, in May 2025, the network launched its new campus in Riyadh[4], Saudi Arabia.

English Path provides a variety of programmes for learners at all levels, from beginners to advanced. Their offerings include general language courses in English, French, Spanish and German that develop speaking, listening, reading and writing skills.

English Path also provide pathway programmes that connect language training with higher education opportunities through GEDU institutions, while work and study options combine language learning with employment, available year-round for Non-European Economic Area (EEA) students in select locations like Ireland.
