General English CRICOS Course Code: 028295E The English skills gained in this intensive course will help students to actively participate in and enjoy the Australian way of life. These skills will also equip them to travel, study or work in any other English-speaking country.

Each General English course at HHH is tailored to suit an individual’s level of English from Elementary to Upper Intermediate level. IELTS Exam Preparation HHH International College has a reputation for providing excellent preparation for students planning to sit for the IELTS test. All of our IELTS teachers have had wide experience with test requirements and are very supportive of their students. In addition, the Independent Learning Centre at HHH is open for self-study every afternoon after class. HHH’s IELTS program is divided into four levels to ensure that students are studying in the appropriate class to acquire the sound language basis and strategies necessary for success in the IELTS test.

Typical Ativity Sunday's trip to the Gold Coast went very well. We couldn't have wished for better weather (real sunscreen weather). Burleigh Head National Park with beautiful Tallebudgera Creek was a good introduction. On the boat trip, the students were amazed at the colour of the water and how clean it was. Naturally, Surfers Paradise beach was a big hit. We finished on the Spit at sunset looking back at Surfers Paradise. This Sunday's tour to the Glasshouse Mountains and Caloundra is a delightful combination of bushwalk and seaside. First, we follow a cement path to the top of Mt Beerburrum for great views of the Glasshouse Mountains. Then, we are going to "climb" Mt. Ngungun. It's actually a challenging bushwalk but only for a short 50 metre section. However, most people will find it necessary to put their hands on the ground at some point. Nevertheless, the scenery, and, for some of the participants, the sense of accomplishment (not to mention the photo opportunity) at the top will make it all worthwhile. Jeans and comfortable walking shoes are the order of the day. No high fashion and definitely no high heels.
