Intensive

The school has so-called UFO English courses, during which you will learn English at your own pace. UFO stands for USE, FOCUS, and OPTION. These are the three components of the daily timetable. You will study USE every day in the morning, the FOCUS macro-skill changes daily, and you will then have an OPTION class in the afternoon.

The course is designed to provide different classes for each of your skills (grammar, writing, reading, listening & speaking), always at your level. On the first day, you will take a short language test (listening, reading, writing, speaking and for grammar), after which you'll be placed in the correct class. In addition, you will choose an OPTION class and LANGUAGE WORKSHOPS for the afternoons. The list of Options includes: Grammar, Vocabulary, Conversation, English for Business & Administration and more.
The list of Workshops includes: English for Work in Australia, Aussie English, Exams techniques & tips, Extension English and more.

Therefore, depending on your skills, you could potentially have six different classes and six different teachers every week.
Every Monday, you will have an individual interview with your USE teacher to review your progress. If you develop your skills quickly, you can move through the levels at your own pace, optimising your learning progress.

Minimum age is 16 years.

Intensive Part-time Course

This course of 15 lessons per week (only for non-student visa holders) is more or less the same as the intensive course of 20 lessons per week, meaning students have lessons from Monday to Friday, where you'll practise the "Use of English" and "Focus on language skills". 

Minimum age is 16 years.
