Our ‘Teaching  English to Speakers of Other Languages’ (TESOL) programs are designed and structured to maximise manageable learning and gaining direct job opportunities for Australians. Our graduates are able to gain immediate, valuable international experience in China and can opt to serve 2 weeks to 50 weeks teaching contracts with Chinese schools.

Our Diploma course graduates wishing to enter Australia universities can utilise direct credits and fast-track pathways that save them significant amounts of money and time.

Apart from these Australian nationally accredited courses, we also offer a number of other programs and services:

• Mini China Immersion Program in Australia: designed to prepare Australians before their departure for China. It provides an insight into Chinese culture, aids integration and helps reduce the impact of culture shock. This program also provides basic Chinese language training.
• Facilitating international programs, including international cooperation between:
• ACC and HZC (Hangzhou Zhijiang College)
• ACC and ZUCC (Zhejiang University City College)
• Queensland University of Technology (QUT) and ZUCC
• University of Technology, Sydney (UTS) and ZUCC
• Other involvement with QUT includes steering committee membership by Ms Karen Yu (ACC) in 2001 by invitation from the Faculty of Education, QUT, to participate in a Feasibility Study for Extended TESOL Teaching experience for B. Ed students and a 2003 International Project Collaboration Agreement.
• Engaging Australian universities to provide various services for other Chinese programs. These include: three architecture consultation services by QUT, a research program with CQU, and the co-supervision of Masters Students program at UQ.
• Receiving study tour groups and government delegations from China frequently providing important marketing opportunities for Australian education capacity exposure to the Chinese market. This also gives our TESOL graduates opportunities to practice their English teaching skills.
• Encouraging Cultural Exchange and Internship within both countries is also a high priority on our agenda.
