Students staying in Footscray can reach language schools in central Melbourne quickly by train.
How long you study depends on your goal: 2-4 weeks for a short summer course, 3-6 months for fluent communication and usually 6-12 months for a university pathway. Programs that require a student visa usually run for at least 12 weeks.
Fees vary from school to school, and university-based language programs and private language schools can sit in different price ranges. Planning your course, accommodation and airport transfer together lowers the total cost. Ask NGGlobal for a quote with current prices and discounts.
Language schools accept students all year round. For programs requiring a student visa, the CoE, health cover and visa processing take time, so plan several months ahead. December to February, the Australian summer, is the busiest period.
Your visa type depends on the length of your course: a visitor visa for up to 3 months, and a student visa for longer programs.
