Its business model centers on investing in and developing assets within these two key sectors. The company's educational offerings are extensive, providing accredited English as a Second Language (ESL) programs that cover general language acquisition, academic preparation for college, business English, medical English, English proficiency test preparation, vacation-oriented courses, and online learning modules. Beyond ESL, GEC also delivers accredited vocational training programs, including business management, customer service, TESOL teacher certification, interpretation and translation services for Korean speakers, and online English teacher training. Furthermore, GEC supports international students by recruiting them for elementary, secondary, and post-secondary institutions across North America, complemented by dedicated on-the-ground support services. In the real estate domain, Global Education Communities Corp. strategically invests in, develops, and manages properties specifically designed for educational purposes. This portfolio includes fully serviced, student-focused rental apartments, hotels, and large-scale education complexes. These facilities primarily serve the needs of domestic and international students, alongside young professionals, predominantly within Metro Vancouver, Canada. Additionally, the company provides specialized web design and advertising services to the real estate industry. Originally incorporated in 1986 and headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, the company was formerly known as CIBT Education Group Inc. before adopting its current name, Global Education Communities Corp., in April 2023.
