English
There is a huge choice of English language schools in Australia. You need to decide in which city you would like to study, how much you are prepared to spend, what kind of school will suit you and what kind of program will best serve your needs.
Many students begin on a General English program and then take an exam preparation course (IELTS, Cambridge, TOEIC, TOEFL etc.). Others are looking for a specialist English course (e.g. English for Nurses or English for Lawyers).
Course fees vary enormously, depending on the quality of the school, the facilities, the location and other factors. Very approximately you can expect to pay $150 – $350 per week for an intensive English course.
Note: all courses for those on a student visa must be at least 20 hours per week. If you are not studying on a student visa, then it’s up to you if you prefer a less intensive course.
Generally speaking, the longer the course the greater the discount.
We aim to offer the best course for your needs whether you want the cheapest, the best or a combination of the two.
