Shafston International College Brisbane

Shafston International College's Brisbane campus is in Kangaroo Point. The college gives 188 Shafston Avenue as its Brisbane address. Gardens and river views are a feature of the campus, which includes air-conditioned classrooms, computer access and student accommodation options on site. The location offers a different daily routine from a school in a city-centre office tower.

Placing general and examination English on a timetable

Shafston's published Brisbane intake information identifies General English and IELTS Preparation as separate courses. General English covers a broad proficiency range, and an entry test helps determine the appropriate class. This makes it a starting point for someone who wants to develop everyday language before deciding whether to pursue a qualification.

IELTS Preparation requires an existing level of English. It is aimed at students who want their study time to focus on the language and tasks involved in the examination. The college lists the official exam as optional for this route, so students should account for any separate test arrangements when planning their stay.

Organising a stay at Kangaroo Point

The college lists weekly intakes for both routes. Students can use the campus-specific intake information to compare the duration and level requirements for each. Accommodation availability should be checked for the same dates as the chosen Brisbane course.
