NATIONALITY MIX
One of the most exciting aspects of a language course at ACCESS is the wonderful cosmopolitan environment. Students from more than 40 different countries choose ACCESS for their language course in Sydney each year. Many return having formed valuable friendships with other students from countries worldwide.

FLEXIBLE STUDY OPTIONS
ACCESS offers a range of full time and part time programs at all levels from Beginner to Advanced. Courses vary from two to 52 weeks. Our timetable is especially designed to allow you to work while you study your English course. For those who are interested in sightseeing, the early finish of classes (2.35pm) allows you to spend the whole afternoon relaxing and enjoying Sydney. Students interested in reaping the benefits of an intensive English language course can take full advantage of our 30 hour full time program incorporating an extra five hours of independent learning time ending at 3.35pm each day.

Access Language Centre prides itself on offering courses tailored to our students' needs. Whether you need English for social, business, academic or travel purposes, we will have the right program for you.

ACCESS can also offer you the benefits of our excellent associations with some of Australia's prestigious universities and colleges through our direct entry program.

Those of you interested in enhancing your career opportunities can also benefit from our excellent associations with companies which provide our students with training and support through our innovative internship program.

TEACHING TEAM
The key persons influencing your success in the program you choose will be your teachers. Our teachers are carefully selected and are indeed our greatest asset. They are chosen not only for their friendly, supportive and motivating approach but also for their experience and specialist qualifications in teaching English. Many of our teachers also speak a foreign language and have lived in a foreign country. They are therefore more capable of understanding your needs as a language learner and the difficulties you may face living away from home. Our ongoing professional development program ensures all teachers stay up to date with the latest teaching techniques

CLASS SIZES
In order to ensure that all our students receive the individual attention and care they need to achieve their goals, we are committed to small class sizes with an average of 11 students and a maximum of 15 students per class.

MONTHLY TESTS AND PROGRESS REPORTS
We monitor our students' learning very closely by conducting monthly tests and providing students with regular reports on their progress. Each report contains personalised comments from the teachers on students' strengths, weaknesses and a recommendation for improvement.

TEACHING METHODOLOGY
Your teachers will spend some time with you at the beginning of each term finding out your goals and your individual needs, strengths and weaknesses. Each program is specifically designed according to the needs of the group of students in that program and their learning styles. At ACCESS we use a large variety of resources and a range of activities to ensure that your interest and motivation levels are consistently high. Our aim is for you to improve your proficiency and achieve your goals quickly and effectively.
