Camps and Study Tours

Tuition fees and all homestay fees are held in trust accounts for student visa holders learning English at AICOL. We draw down week by week after course commencement.  This way unused tuition fees and homestay costs can be refunded where appropriate as was done during covid.

Some things to think about when choosing where to study English in Australia

Consider .. do you want to study with a large international language school chain?
                                                                                    OR
Do you want the individual personal attention you will receive at a high quality privately owned, long established,  English School which pays attention to detail and enjoys an excellent reputation? Google Reviews.

Costs and Tuition fees can be deceptive……..

  • AICOL guarantees that no class will have more than 15 students.
  • Some English schools on the Gold Coast have had 25-30 students in one class.
  • Obviously if there are more students per class the tuition fees should be considerably less as the learning opportunity is reduced because the teacher can spend less time with you.  A class with a maximum of 18 should cost less than a class with a maximum of 15.
