The college is located in North Sydney 3km from the CBD. It offers fun and interactive small group lessons. You will learn how to develop your English CV following Australian standards. You will role play job interviews during your classes to prepare you for the job search.

All teachers are TESOL qualified and experienced in teaching English. Some teachers are former IELTS examiners, so you can expect to improve your English skills quickly. Practical communication skills in English are naturally acquired while making friends through classes and activities with multinational students. Extracurricular activities such as excursions will help you to quickly integrate into the Australian culture, practise your English, increase your confidence, make new friends and crate lifelong memories.
