About Discover English

Discover English was formed in Melbourne in February 2010 with the objective of being one of Australia’s premier English language colleges. The college is accredited by NEAS and is a member of English Australia.
Discover English currently recruits students for study in General English, English for Academic Purposes, Business English, IELTS Preparation, English Excel and Cambridge ESOL courses.
Students are at the centre of our organisation. We provide flexibility and choice to ensure that each individual student is doing the course that’s right for them.
Discover English was the first school to offer its students and extra 10 hours per week of free instructions (an optional 5 hours in the library with a teacher and 5 hours of electives). We also run a free weekly job seminar and activities 7 days a week. Academically, students are tested and evaluated weekly to ensure individuals can level up at their own pace.
The college was shortlisted as a finalist in English Language Training, Student Support and Student Experience in the 2013 Victorian International Education Awards. The judging panel highly commended Discover English for student support – especially for its strong engagement with international students in an innovative program. The VIEA are designed to promote and reward outstanding achievement and excellence among students and education providers in Victoria.
The college specialises in delivering Cambridge ESOL courses (FCE, CAE and CPE). In 2014 the school was the finalist in Cambridge English Language Assessment Awards for Preparation Centres in Outstanding Students Care category.
Discover English is an authorised TOEIC and Pearson’s PTE test centre.
