The location of the school is just perfect, two minutes from Central Station so really

easy to access.”

your English practice and we have designed our school

to help you with this goal.

At ABILITY English we take your English improvement

very seriously. That is why we have an academic

counselling and education planning session every

week. The Academic Manager will contact you to meet

and plan your personal study goals. You, the Academic

Manager and your teacher then work together to make

sure you stay on track.

We look after your worriesyou look after your studies

“On my fi rst day at ABILITY I was a bit nervous, but when the receptionist saw

me she really made me feel relaxed. I suppose most people who study English in

Australia feel a bit frustrated while they work and study. At ABILITY, student services

not only help you, but also listen to you, as well as give you some advice. They are

my mentors and I am sincerely glad I chose ABILITY. I will always appreciate their

courtesy and kindness.” Taka, Japan

“I went to ABILITY to look for staff

that could work in a very multicultural

team. Lubo Flimel had the perfect skills

I was looking for, and I soon made him

a manager because of these skills. The

company sponsored him and he has

just received his permanent residency.

I’m proud to have Lubo on my team.”

The EAP course is a very demanding and chall-enging course. Now I am studying at Macquarie University, and looking back I am extremely grateful for what I learnt. I was extremely shy and found doing presentations diffi cult but now I can present with confi dence. The most important thing I gained from EAP is that I am equipped with academic writing skills.

IELTS Preparation

FCE and CAE Preparation

I came to ABILITY English to improve my IELTS results so I could get my Civil Engineering qualifi cation recognised here in Australia. I got the result I needed and I am now working as a Project Engineer in Sydney. The staff at ABILITY are amazing and really push you with your learning.

Julian Vera, Colombia

I am currently working as an Operation Offi cer in a fi nance company in Sydney. I studied FCE at ABILITY English which gave me the confi dence I needed to use English in the workplace.

The teachers at ABILITY are very dedicated and really helped me so I could work in the same industry in Australia as I did at home in Brazil.

Renata Baptistini, Brazil

A friend of mine attended this course before and she recommended it to me. She said it was a life changing course, so I decided to come to Australia, and fortunately it turned out to be true. Now I am moving to New York for my new job with a highly reputable international company that operates in over 140 countries.

Noriko Tomahiro, Japan


I like General English because I’m learning a lot of new words. I’m improving my English and I have made many new friends. I have met people from many countries and learned about their cultures.

Our teachers are great, I can explain myself better and now I think in English.

Karen Villena, Peru

When I decided to go to Australia I had just one goal - to improve my English so speaking with a native speaker was a pleasure and not torture. The General English Plus course at ABILITY English was a really good experience for me. The course balances speaking, writing, listening and reading and I realise now that each part is essential to reach my target. If English matters for you this is the right course to help you keep on track.
