General EnglishGeneral English CRICOS Course Code 062541B
I’m currently studying in the CAE course to take the Cambridge Advanced Exam. The course is very comprehensive and helps me to improve my language in a wide range of areas. Our teacher is very supportive and efficient. Even a few months ago,I couldn’t imagine that studying English every day could be so enjoyable. IH Sydney is a warm and friendly place with a great mix of cultures. In my class of 11 studentsthere are 8 different nationalities. I’m very satisfied with my stay here and I’d definitely recommend it and not only for those who want to take the exam.
