WelcomeFrom the General Manager

Hello and welcome to Eurocentres Brisbane!

Our helpful and dedicated staff is committed to delivering the highest possible levels of teaching so as to ensure that students will attain the best possible

learning outcomes during their studies.

Being a smaller school allows for a friendlier ambience and we pride ourselves on having a multi-cultural staff, many of whom have travelled widely and have taught English internationally. Therefore, we understand what it is like to be new to a country and what help is required when you first arrive.

Our staff will endeavour to assist in any way they can and offer advice on all things Australian to better help students to integrate and to develop their English language skills!
