Perth
Perth is a sun-drenched city on the Australian coast of the Indian Ocean. Its fantastic sandy beaches and the sea are ideal for swimming, snorkelling and diving. Perth has a unique colony of friendly dolphins that swim close to the shore. Perth is very popular for its clean environment, friendly locals and very reasonable cost of living. It is on the River Swan. The beautiful beaches on the west coast are within easy reach by bus (ca. 10 minutes). Perth’s town centre is modern and busy, its nightlife and culture are unique! King’s Park, a large area of Australian bush on the outskirts of Perth’s city centre, is home to many beautiful exotic birds. It is affectionately called the heart and soul of Perth by its inhabitants. Perth’s motto is ‘easy going’!
The school
Our modern language school in Perth is situated in a beautiful garden. The town centre is only over a mile away and can easily be reached by public transport. The fantastic beaches are around 10 minutes away. The school campus is ideal for studying and relaxing. Studying is facilitated by the the new computer cluster, which has free internet usage for the students and also by the school’s bright and airy classrooms, which are accommodated in a two-storey building; some of the rooms offer excellent views of Perth’s skyline. All classrooms are situated around a beautiful garden, which is perfect to relax in. Students spend their breaks with their classmates from around the world in this warm Australian climate.
All tutors have a diploma and are qualified in teaching English
as a foreign language. The school has a cafeteria and offers internet
access to all course participants. The well-known Aquatics Centre which
was home to the Water Olympics 2002 is situated opposite the school.
The language school organizes numerous trips and excursions, e.g. a
visit to the Caversham game park, surfing courses, tracking trips into

Australian outback, kayaking, wine tastings in the surrounding countryside
as well as trips along the west coast that may last several days.

Sightseeing in Perth
Perth, the capital of West Australia, is a busy, sun-drenched metropolis
on the River Swan and the Indian ocean. This unique combination of city
life and water sports makes Perth a popular destination for visitors
from around the world. We recommend you explore the town centre on foot.
In order to get acquainted with Perth, we suggest a walk around the botanical
gardens and King’s Park which is home to some typically Australian
plants. Afterwards, you can wander around London Court and go shopping
in this small charming arcade.
To art lovers we recommend a visit to the Western Australian Art Gallery
which also displays pieces of art made by Aborigines. The Western Australian
Museum in Northbridge is open daily. It is also home to the restored
Old Perth Goal as well as a renowned exhibition for the culture of the
Aborigines.
We also recommend Northbridge for its nightlife.

Exam Courses
At our language school in Perth, we offer the following exam preparation courses: Preparation for the Cambridge Certificate (FCE, CAE)
Please note:
- Your English must be at intermediate level to be able to go onto the course (FCE: B1; CAE: B2). Enrolment onto the preparation course is therefore subject to a grading test before the course begins.
- The exams normally take place in the last week of the course, therefore we can only offer limited teaching in that week.
- You must pay the exam fee while in Perth. Please consult the table regarding how much the exam fee will cost.
- Cambridge Certificates: You will find dates of the written papers (papers 1-3) in the table. According to our previous experience, we have found that the oral exams (papers 4-5) mostly take place a week after the end of the course. which is why the prices may include an extra week’s accommodation. As it is possible that the dates may be postponed, we recommend that you opt for a flexible flight reservation.
