Manly, on Sydney's Northern Beaches, is a relaxed seaside suburb between ocean and harbour beaches. Connected to central Sydney by ferry, it offers a calmer life close to city amenities.
Some of the language schools NGGlobal offers in Manly:
Students staying in Manly can reach language schools in central Sydney by ferry in about 20-30 minutes.
In Manly you can book short courses of 1-2 weeks. On an intensive program, one English level usually takes 8-12 weeks. Reaching the IELTS score Australian universities ask for usually needs a 6-12 month plan, depending on your starting level.
The biggest factor in the price is the length of your booking: the weekly fee drops noticeably for bookings of 12 weeks or more. Besides tuition, budget for items such as the registration fee, materials and OSHC health cover for a student visa. NGGlobal students can take advantage of the schools' seasonal offers.
At most language schools courses start every Monday, though some programs have set start dates. For long programs that require a student visa, we recommend applying at least 3 months ahead.
For a student visa (subclass 500) for long-term language study, you need the school's CoE, OSHC health cover, proof of funds and statements showing you are a genuine student. Applications are made online, with an appointment at an authorised visa centre for biometrics.
Student visa holders may work up to 48 hours per fortnight, and cafés, restaurants, retail and hospitality are where students most often find jobs. Your work conditions are stated on your visa, so check them before starting a job.
Homestays and shared flats are common in Manly, and accommodation near the beach costs more.
Living costs in Manly 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.
Ferries run regularly from Manly to Circular Quay in central Sydney, and the Opal card works on ferries too.
Manly 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.
Because Australia is in the southern hemisphere, the seasons work the other way round: Manly is 7 hours ahead of Turkey from April to October and 8 hours ahead from October to April.
