Bondi, east of central Sydney, is the beach suburb home to one of the world's most famous beaches. With its surf culture, coastal walk and cafés, it is a favourite for those who want to combine language study with beach life.
Some of the language schools NGGlobal offers in Bondi:
Students staying in Bondi can easily reach language schools in central Sydney by public transport.
Short programs last 1-4 weeks, while long-term programs run from 12 weeks to a year. Most schools use a system of 8-12 levels, and on an intensive course you should allow about 4-8 weeks per level.
Language school fees in Bondi depend on course intensity, the type of school and the length of your booking. The weekly price falls for longer bookings, and extra discounts apply for early bookings and promotions. Applying through NGGlobal lets you compare the schools' current offers in one place.
Language schools do not require a diploma or any prior knowledge of the language. After you complete the enrolment form and pay the deposit, the school sends you a confirmation. For long programs, the school prepares the Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) needed for a student visa.
The Turkish summer holiday (June to August) falls in the Australian winter, when classes are quieter. December to February, the Australian summer, is the busiest time, so booking early pays off.
Language courses longer than 12 weeks require an Australian student visa (subclass 500). Once the school sends you the Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE), you apply online together with Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC). Short courses of up to 3 months can be taken on a visitor visa (subclass 600).
Australia stands out for giving language students the right to work: on a student visa you can work up to 48 hours per fortnight during your course. The high minimum wage makes it easier to cover part of your living costs.
Accommodation in Bondi is above the Sydney average because of the beach, and shared flats are common.
Living costs in Bondi are above the Australian average, with rent the biggest part of the budget. The right to work on a student visa helps cover part of the costs.
Sydney has a wide public transport network of trains, buses, light rail and ferries, all paid with an Opal card or a contactless bank card.
Bondi has a temperate climate: summers (December to February) are warm and humid, winters (June to August) mild and sunny.
Sydney Airport (SYD) is reached from Turkey with connecting flights via Asia or the Gulf; the journey usually takes 20-25 hours in total.
Bondi is 7 hours ahead of Turkey. During Australian daylight saving time (early October to early April), the difference grows to 8 hours.
