HAve to enroll in a language course for 12 weeks before an interview. THen the student MUST except the terms offered by the consultant.........

SOunds more than a little dodgy to me! But I dont know that much about Aus. So would be grateful for any better qualified people's comments!

Checked out their website and a few things struck me !!!!

To receive internship/work experience introduction, the student must first enrol in an English language (General English) programme at Specialty Language Centre for a minimum of 12 weeks (on a full-time basis).

Looked at the fees they charge :

12 week full time course = Aus $ 3960

So , you pay for and do their "language course" and then have an interview with one of their consultants.

The students and the Consultant will discuss the type of work which may be available to the student. Based on their professional experience, the Consultant will decide whether they can help the student in finding a job.

Looks like no guarantee of them finding work , and also worth noting :

Introductions to possible employers are limited to one. Students should be aware that due to current employment conditions, employment is difficult to find, so students are advised not to be too particular with regard to the types of jobs they are offered.

And finally the one that matters most !!!!

There will be no payment to students from the employer.

Sounds like it's just another language school looking to make money , you do their course , pay them lots of money and then end up (possibly !!!) working for nothing !!!!!
