Our partner language schools in Brisbane / Working Holiday Visa Brisbane

Our partner language school, Browns English, PVT Brisbane

BROWNS, with campuses in Brisbane, Gold Coast, and Melbourne, is our top choice for several reasons: its strategic locations, modern facilities, high-quality, personalized English courses thanks to a program individually designed for each student and coordinated by an academic advisor, the possibility for students to be placed at different levels in each skill, and a guaranteed mix of nationalities in each class. Furthermore, a range of enriching options such as a paid job at a resort , barista courses, eco-volunteer projects for whale conservation, a demi-pair program, and sports activities like diving and surfing are available (depending on the city), combined with a comprehensive activities program.

The BROWNS Brisbane campus is located in the heart of the city's popular shopping and dining district. The school occupies the entire 8th floor of a modern building and overlooks the spectacular Museum of Brisbane and King George Square.

The school offers intensive English courses (20 hours of classes + 5 hours of optional self-study per week) or semi-intensive courses (10 hours of classes + 5 hours of optional self-study per week).

There are three class schedules: mornings from 8:40 to 13:10, afternoons from 13:20 to 17:35, and evenings from 17:00 to 21:20.
To ensure the quality of the program , students generally cannot choose a specific schedule upon request. The process is as follows:
You arrive on campus and take a placement test. Your class is then assigned based on your level and native language ; this ensures a good mix of different nationalities.
If you wish to change your schedule (for example, to combine classes with a job), you can request this from the student services office, and a new schedule will be arranged as soon as possible, depending on availability. Furthermore, you will be placed in a group that matches your level for each skill (for example, you might be placed in A2 for grammar but B1 for speaking). You will then attend your first English lessons, which will focus primarily on communication. Your teachers will encourage you to participate throughout the course: there's no better way to progress quickly!

It is also possible to take IELTS or Cambridge exam preparation courses.
