The teachers at ICTE-UQ are helpful and friendly and are always available to help. I can feel my English getting better and better everyday and I strongly believe that when I return to Brazil my English language skills will be of an excellent standard and will help me secure employment.

Being part of the UQ campus is a great experience and the perfect way to be surrounded by English everyday.

TESTIMONIALS

The facilities here are excellent, the class activities are really interesting and the teachers have a unique ability to identify student’s individual needs and motivate us to learn.

Being an ICTE-UQ student has been more than just about learning English – it has been a chance to experience other cultures and a major life experience for me.

I believe that there is no better place to learn English in Australia than ICTE-UQ.
