We were also looking for an exotic destination to learn English, and like you, we came to Australia and stayed. Now that we know that this is one of the best countries in the world, we want to share our experience with you and help you achieve your goals.
There are many advantages of studying an English course in Australia, among all of them we would like to highlight the following:
In addition, the Australian unemployment rate is around 6%, so you will have plenty of opportunities to find a job. It may not be the job of your dreams at first, but it will allow you to support yourself while you study without having to throw away your savings or borrow money from anyone. Being able to work while you learn English makes Australia an ideal destination for anyone.
Why are they so good? Because they need to pass many official filters to meet the high-quality standards required by the Australian government. This strict control does not occur in other countries, where anyone can open a language school with the same ease with which the cookie drawer is opened.
A season here learning English or studying a course that makes you excited to learn will open many doors for you!
In Australia, you will find more international students in the same situation with whom you will become friends very fast. You will never feel alone because you will also have us by your side to accompany you during your experience in Australia!
What better way to learn English than to immerse yourself in its culture? It will indeed be challenging at first, but with the schools’ methodology and surrounding yourself with the language, you will soon become fluent.
There are two times to travel and study English in Australia, now or too late. Don’t wait any longer and write to us to plan your experience.

There are many types of English courses in Australia, as many as schools offer them. And yes, there is one for you, regardless of your current level of English. It will all depend on what you are looking for and your learning needs. Below these lines, we explain which are the most common English courses and how each of them can help you:
General English courses prepare you to control the primary language needs: reading, writing, speaking and listening. There are several levels (from the most basic to the most advanced). Before starting classes, the school will give you a language test to join the class that corresponds to your level of English.
ESOL, IELTS, TOEFL … no matter what official qualification you want to achieve, the objective of these courses is always the same: prepare you to pass the official tests and get your brand new English certificate. Oh yes! When you finish the course, you will be ready to go to the exam and bid for the title.
Aimed at professionals, they are specialized English courses optimized 100% so that you can move like a fish in water in work environments. With this type of course, you will learn to function without fear in your profession by acquiring the necessary vocabulary and the correct type of grammatical constructions for day-to-day work.
But that’s not all: there are also English courses that combine learning with other activities such as surfing. Seriously, there are so many courses on offer that, by sheer logic, some will steal your heart!
We’ve all asked ourselves that question before taking the giant leap! Is it costly, is it cheap? Can everyone or just a lucky few afford it?
We will answer your questions in the best possible way: with data. In addition, if you come to Australia with us, a Dingoos Guide will be your advisor. We will advise you about the best for you according to your tastes. We will recommend options based on your budget, and we will give you an approximate figure on the money you should bring with you for your first days according to the city you choose.
But before that we are going to make some calculations on how much money it can cost to study English in Australia:
These would be the expenses far above studying English in Australia. On the other hand, remember that the student visa allows you to work part-time, and this will help you to be able to pay your expenses using your savings as little as possible.
Yes, of course. And that’s one of the good things about Australia compared to other English-speaking countries.
Because if you enrol in an English course or a VET course, and as long as you do it through an official school, you can apply for a student visa, a visa that allows you to work part-time while you study.
This is excellent news because Australia is not exactly a cheap country regarding living costs. But in this way, you can work to meet all your expenses and even travel without throwing away savings.
The chances of finding a job in Australia are high. Even if you have a low English level, getting a low-skilled job with a good salary is possible.
Holidays are a long-awaited time for any international student in Australia. The reasons go beyond travelling to some exotic location or staying up late from party to party. And it is that during your holidays, you will be able to work full-time, twice as many hours as during the months of study.
With some exceptions, it is normal for each student to have the right to one or two months of vacation for every three months of the course. At that time, you must add an extra month of relaxation at the end of the course.
Now you have chosen the English course you want to study in Australia; it´s time to know the most common visas to make it possible: the Tourist Visa, the Work & Holiday Visa and of course, the student visa.
Depending on which visa you choose, you will have certain limitations to take into account. In the following bullet points, we explain the main differences of each visa:
Of course, you can! Actually, it is the best thing you can do. Keep reading because you are about to find out why.
Remember that your Dingoos Guide will be by your side to help you choose a combination of courses according to your objectives and the time you plan to stay in Australia. So it is impossible not to make the best decision!

We have been working closely with the following schools, and our students are delighted with the quality of the facilities and the teachers.

When someone thinks about coming to Australia to study English, usually the first idea that comes to mind is to travel to Sydney. It is normal, it is the most famous, dynamic and iconic city in this country.
The schools that stand out the most in Sydney are:
Ohhh! The fabulous Gold Coast. In case you still don’t know us, this is where we have one of our Dingoos headquarters and where many of our students study. Living on the Gold Coast is like living in paradise: fantastic beaches, natural parks in the surroundings, a good atmosphere and fantastic weather during the entire year.
The best schools on the Gold Coast are:
The second-largest city in Australia is Melbourne, it is more bohemian than Sydney, a little cheaper and less chaotic. In fact, it is considered one of the cities with the best quality of life in the world. Surely you are thinking that it sounds great, and you are right, especially if you do not come to Australia thinking about surfing, since the closest beaches to Melbourne where you can practise it, are more or less an hour away.
About the English schools in Melbourne, we highlight the following ones:
Another of our favourite cities in Australia is Brisbane because it is comfortable and offers many job opportunities and leisure options. As with Melbourne, the only drawback for us is that if you want to go to the beach, you will have to leave the city. In this case, the closest option is the Gold Coast, which is an hour’s drive away.
In Brisbane you can study English in the following schools:
Byron Bay is a super pretty town surrounded by fantastic beaches. Studying English here is to enjoy a super paradise vacation even if you work part-time.
However, despite being small, Byron Bay has outstanding English schools:

In Cairns, we highlight the school:
Perth is one of the most booming Australian cities. This means that you will find many job offers. Although it is very far from the rest of the major cities, its surroundings are beautiful, and you can make incredible excursions.
To study English in Perth, we recommend the following schools:
Adelaide is the fifth-largest city in Australia and one of the fastest-growing in recent years. It´s not a popular destination among international students, but this could also be seen as a selling point of Adelaide because you will make a complete linguistic immersion.
There are two great English schools in Adelaide:
Noosa and Sunshine Coast are located on the east coast. Both cities belong to Queensland, the state with the best climate and beaches in Australia.
The best English school in Noosa and Sunshine Coast is:
