I studied at Impact for six months and the IELTS course helped me achieve the score that I needed to get into a university in Australia! My teachers were very passionate and knowledgeable and constantly gave me feedback on my progress. Because of the English Only rule I made lots of good friends at Impact, like Anna, who is my classmate from Extreme English.
I studied General English through 4 levels, from Pre-Intermediate to Advanced. After studying over 25 weeks of GE and IELTS/EAP, I decided to take the Cambridge FCE course. I enjoyed studying and spending time with my classmates. My teachers are kind and awesome, they helped me a lot! I enjoyed all aspects of learning English - reading, writing, listening and speaking. And I really like the English Only policy. At the beginning, it was very hard, but later I spoke English with my friends even though we were out of school!
I came to Australia to improve my English and to have a working holiday experience. I couldn’t decide which city so Impact was the perfect choice because I could study in both Brisbane and Melbourne. After moving to Melbourne, I fell in love with the cafés and wanted to become a barista. The Barista course and Kickstart program really helped me understand the hospitality industry and gave me the experience I needed to find a job in a café!
After studying in General English, I decided I wanted to take the FCE course. Extreme English was the perfect stepping stone and it really helped me prepare for FCE. Although these courses were challenging and intensive, I enjoyed it very much and felt that it was the best decision I had ever made.
Impact has great facilities which provide us the perfect environment to learn and make friends. We have a cafe where we get the day started with fresh coffee made by Impact's own barista students. The library has a good variety of books and magazines; and computers and free Wi-Fi is available on every floor. We always have lunch at the student lounge because it is so spacious and welcoming!
