English Language Courses in Australia

Boomerang Australia Studies:
Specialising in study opportunities in Australia, Boomerang Australia Studies is an educational agency with their head office located in downtown Sydney. Boomerang Australia Studies represents many of the top language schools and higher education institutions (universities & colleges) throughout Australia. We offer English language courses to international students in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Hobart in Tasmania, Brisbane, and on the Sunshine Coast and Airlie Beach in Queensland. Founded in 1999, we have additional branch offices and representation in Lyon and Paris, France, and Italy.

English Language Courses:

We provide English language courses for all levels from beginner to advanced. All our English language providers are accredited by the Australian Governmental Board and members of the quality label English Australia. The main concern for Boomerang Australia Studies is to provide, not only quality services, but to also make sure of the reputation of our Australian educational partners. This is reflected in our selection of the English language providers we represent in Australia.

If you are planning to come and study English for personal or leisure purposes, we recommend you to study with a private language provider: they offer more flexible programmes and more personalised service. University language centres concentrate more on the academic part of language teaching to prepare you for post-secondary studies and the atmosphere is far more studious.
