- I want to study English in Wellington, New Zealand.“At the moment (2024), we do not work with any schools in Wellington, but you can check on our website all the options we can offer you in New Zealand, such as Auckland, Christchurch or Queenstown.”Rubén De Haro, LanguageCourse.Net - May 23, 2024We are planning to go to New Zealand for short term studies in Auckland. I have a son who is 6 years old, do you have classes for children his age?“Yes, we have great courses for children his age - A Study & Live in your Teacher's Home programme would be best for him. As these classes take students from as little as 5 years of age.”Anele Nongcula, LanguageCourse.Net - Apr 28, 2023I would like to know how many weeks of the IELTS preparation course I have to book to obtain a good result on the day of the exam.“If you are highly proficient in English, you might be able to prepare for IELTS in just a month. Highly skilled users in English only need to concentrate their studies on the knowledge of the exam and its strategy.

FAQ - Frequently asked questions about English courses in New Zealand
- My level is medium, I have difficulty evaluating the time I need for my stay. How many weeks should I take?“As for the length of the stay, it is difficult to say because it depends on each student. However, in our experience, the schools tell us that it takes at least 4 weeks to go from one level to another.”Madly Simba, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Feb 24, 2023What is the best accommodation to take if I want to improve my English?“Homestay is the option that we recommend for a true, full-on immersion experience and if you include either full or half board, then you also get to keep practising around the dinner table, learning much more about the culture and traditions than you would otherwise.”Madly Simba, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Feb 24, 2023
