Reviews by former students who attended a course in Perth

My teacher was professional and creative in teaching, overall excellent. The secretary team was extremely helpful and kind all the time. My stay was a great pleasure for me. I hope I can improve my English very soon at P.I.C.E very soon again. (I didnt use the afternoon activities.)

ZhenisPerth International College of English

There were many students from various countries, and I was able to learn not only English but also the languages and cultures of other countries. I had many opportunities for group discussions, which gave me many chances to not only express my own thoughts, but also to listen to the thoughts and opinions of students from other countries in English.
Helpful teachers, and kind staff.

I would like to get more information about English schools in Perth. I would be interested in a general English course, with the possibility of also focusing on IELTS preparation and business English. I would like to relearn the basics of grammar and especially conversation, vocabulary etc. At the same time I am looking for a school that integrates extracurricular activities such as trips or internships in companies. My level is elementary-pre-intermediate. I had seen Lexis Perth City and P.I.C.E schools, I would like more information on these but also on others that might be better. Are books and materials included in the price? Should I take care of the visa individually?

“We have several partner schools to offer. Examination preparation courses and business courses are separate courses and usually require a minimum language level to access them (we can request the link to take the language test in advance, however). Business courses have a flexible duration, preparatory courses often have fixed start dates and duration. There are also courses that focus mainly on communication and pronunciation, it all depends on which area you want to prioritise with your study. Practically all schools offer a programme of extra-curricular activities to complement the lessons (some are free, others, such as visits or excursions to places of interest, have an extra cost corresponding to the ticket or the cost of the activity). Internships are special programmes that usually require a minimum three-month stay. Textbooks may be free or paid for, depending on the school. We are not immigration consultants but schools usually guide us through the visa application process and send supporting documents. ”

I’m looking for lessons for my husband. He is Indonesian and I don’t know what level he would be in. Do we need to go for an interview?
“Yes, some schools do have placement tests which are done online or on the first day of class to determine the student's level so they can be assigned to the correct group/class of students.”
