I’ve never had a worse experience than this. I was looking for a place in which I could get the Cambridge certificate and I was told it was possible to do it in this school. I spent 3 weeks asking if they could make me get in touch with someone in order to take this exam but they just kept telling me that someone from Bondi would contact me. Needless to say that it never happened so I just decided to go to Bondi to speak directly with someone. I literally kept wasting my time waiting for them to give me some attention 😂 it was literally as if they were the ones who had to give me money and not the other way around.

I found that the general English course is targeted just to teenagers with low motivation. Moreover courses are always ongoing, so there is not a defined start and end. This brings an high turnover of students and teachers which does not help to focus on the course. The school is very keen to promote extra class activity (week end, visit to zoo …) which sounds a bit unprofessional. Bathrooms are quite dirty.
