English language training programs enroll F-1 international students who want to pursue a full course of study to learn English while in the United States. 

Different rules apply to English language training programs because they are unique from most of the other programs of study in which F-1 students enroll. To help both students and schools understand and comply with these rules, Study in the States created the English Language Training page.

The page includes:

• Guidance for students.
• Guidance for schools.
• An overview of the pathway programs guidance series.

If you are an F-1 English language training student or a school official who oversees English language training programs, bookmark the English Language Training page for easy reference to these rules and regulations.
