Course Overview

Our General English courses will help you develop language skills for real life situations – like speaking and conversation. We will help you develop the confidence to live, travel or work in Australia. You will graduate with real-world English skills you can use anywhere.

Courses are built around the four core skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing. The course will focus on:

• building fluency and accuracy in spoken English
• expanding your vocabulary
• understanding native and non-native English speakers
• developing skills and confidence to use English outside the classroom.

You will learn with experienced and qualified teachers in small classes. We will track your progress with regular testing. General English is available on the day and evening timetables; you can start studying any Monday. We will run a simple test to make sure you are in the right class for your level – and then you can start learning straight away.
