Until recent years, there was an umbrella organisation for language travel agents called the Verein Österreichischer Reiseveranstalter which was publicised by the Austrian Ministry of Education and we were happy to provide UK schools with this list. In the meantime the Ministry has decided that it cannot take responsibility for the quality of the courses on offer. Unfortunately there seems to be no official institution in Austria which gives accreditation to language travel agents or ensures quality standards.

We are therefore unable to provide you with lists of agents as we have no assurance of their quality.
It is of course possible to 'google' some travel agents by searching under sprachreisen veranstalter on www.google.at
As regards a database of Austrian schools which can be searched by different criteria, please use the following websites:

Schulen Online (database of schools) is available in German only:

Through the website of the Austrian ministry for Education
