Learning English in Australia entails far more than simply memorising words in a classroom. Our teaching method emphasises critical thinking, as well as group and project work based on real-life experiences, so you will not only learn the language, but also how to use it in everyday situations.

By studying English in Australia, you will gain a wide range of life skills that you will not be able to obtain at home. Problem-solving, team leadership, and applying English to real-world problems are all vital skills that you will use for the rest of your life. With a multicultural mix of pupils in our educational facilities, you will learn the language of the world in a truly international setting.

The English language instruction is constantly of high quality, regardless of where you study or what course you pick.

Australia has national regulatory and quality agencies for international education – the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA) and the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA). They were established by the Australian Government to monitor quality, and regulate university and non-university education providers against a set of independently developed standards to regulate courses and education and training providers to ensure nationally approved quality standards are met. These two bodies share responsibility for monitoring national standards for English language colleges.

In addition, the following student rights are protected by law under the Education Services for Overseas Students (ESOS):

• The wellbeing of all international students
• The quality of students' education experience.
• The provision of up-to-date and accurate information

While education providers set their own English language requirements for course entry, the English proficiency score needed for your course may be different to the score needed to secure your visa. You should check entry requirements for both your visa application and your course application. Find out more about the most widely accepted English language testing providers.
