Study tours
CET offers interesting and stimulating study tour packages for students and/or other groups.
Our challenging and well-organised courses offer excellent opportunities for students at all levels. These courses are designed to enable participants to improve their level of English proficiency and at the same time increase their knowledge of Australia's lifestyle and culture.
We can custom-design programs which combine English language and recreational activities.
Students learn in a closed class format to suit the specific needs of your organisation/institution.
Study tour programs are developed on the basis of a minimum of 15 students aged 18 years or above. Tours can be shortened or extended according to the needs of the group. The average tour can be for periods of 2 - 6 weeks.
Students will be issued with a CET Library Card, which will allow them to use our wide collection of books, magazines and listening materials in their free time. Computing facilities, including internet access, are also available free of charge for students.
At the completion of the course each participant will receive a detailed progress report and CET certificate. We are able to adapt our assessment and reporting to reflect the requirements of your organisation/institution.
