English Path Expands with New Campus in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
2 Min Read
English Path (EP), a global leader in language training, has announced the opening of a new campus in Riyadh, strengthening its presence in Saudi Arabia and signalling the Kingdom as a high-growth market for international education.
The launch was unveiled at the UK–Saudi Arabia GREAT Futures Leadership Summit in London, which promotes cooperation across business, education and innovation. The new Riyadh campus reflects EP’s strategy to support Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 goals, placing education and student mobility at the heart of its development agenda.
Part of the GEDU group, EP operates under the Global Institute of Entrepreneurship Training Institute (GIE), which is licensed by Saudi Arabia’s Technical and Vocational Training Corporation (TVTC). The Riyadh facility will provide internationally accredited English language programmes, focusing on academic quality, modern teaching methods and student support.
The campus will deliver a diverse portfolio of courses including Classic English for adults and teens, intensive study options, IELTS preparation, leadership and business management training, as well as weekend clubs tailored for young learners. The initiative aims to empower students with language proficiency and skills aligned with the demands of global education and employment markets.
Tom Buckley, CEO of English Path, described the Riyadh opening as a “pivotal milestone” for the organisation. “EP empowers learners with world-class language education, and we’re thrilled to be bringing this offering to Saudi Arabia,” he said.
Buckley emphasised the Kingdom’s potential as one of the fastest-growing education markets worldwide and highlighted the importance of private sector collaboration in driving Vision 2030. “We are proud to partner with leading Saudi organisations to strengthen our mission of empowering learners and contributing to the Kingdom’s ambitious goals,” he added.
He further noted that the cooperation showcased at the UK–Saudi Arabia GREAT Futures Summit would bring long-term benefits for both nations. EP also plans to expand collaborations with universities worldwide, offering pathway programmes and broader education opportunities.
