Kangaroo Point, on the Brisbane River opposite the CBD, is a suburb known for its famous cliffs and parks. Linked to the centre by ferries and pedestrian bridges, it offers a quiet life with river views.
Some of the language schools NGGlobal offers in Kangaroo Point:
Students staying in Kangaroo Point can reach language schools in central Brisbane quickly.
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 Kangaroo Point 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).
