In 2014, Education First's global operations were awarded the "Best Recruitment Practice" by Learning and Development Executive magazine. In November 2011, Education First was ranked as one of "Australia's Top 50 Corporate Philanthropists" by the Australian Corporate Philanthropy Association.

The current study is a systematic SWOT analysis of the organization. It also studies the strategic planning used by the organization to grow and achieve its objectives. The systematic review of literature reveals that despite EF’s weaknesses, this organization has been able to provide high quality education with the help of its strong partnerships with international organizations. However, future challenges will arise; therefore, it is important to improve EF’s programs by having a plan for the success of its programs in the next five years.
