"Very good experience at Asthley College"

"happy and cool!"

Astley is the place where English learning meets the authentic Australian experience and where you not only get to improve your language skills, but also become part of a supportive community of students and staff who are always here to look after you. Conveniently located in the heart of Sydney, our college provides quality courses which nurture students to become successful communicators in English and to be well-prepared if they wish to further their studies in vocational training (VET) and Higher Education courses. Here at Astley we believe that in order to have successful outcomes, the whole learning process should be enjoyable and meaningful. Our campus is spacious with a friendly atmosphere. Our qualified teachers prepare engaging activities in and out of the classroom to help you reach your language goals. All of our staff members are approachable and ready to offer any assistance you may need to make your time here rewarding and worthwhile. Through encouragement and motivation, we deliver good sound education to enable our students to develop into successful and contributing members of the community. Students can choose between our General English Courses and IELTS Preparation Courses. There are two timetables, a day timetable and an evening timetable. The day timetable runs from Monday to Wednesday, from 08.30am to 4.15pm with three breaks to socialise and eat with other students. The night timetable runs Monday to Friday, from 5.15pm to 9,30pm, with one 15-minute break to socialise and recharge. We all know that language learning doesn’t just happen in the classroom! Our lessons combine different materials and techniques to cover all different aspects of English, but you still need to put in practice what you learn in the real world. This is why we supplement our curriculum with exciting electives and special skill classes, to help students in the areas they feel less confident in. We focus on subjects such as pronunciation and speaking, business English, media and film, Australian life and culture, presentation, debate, and much more. Life is never dull at Astley. Our staff is incredibly dynamic, and always looking for ways to enhance your student experience. We make sure to organise as many social activities and excursions as possible for our students, both during the week and at the weekend, so that everyone gets a chance to put their newly learnt language skills in a real context – all while exploring beautiful Sydney and Australia at the same time!
