About Us

The Parramatta College has been running high quality English language courses for the people of Parramatta for over 20 years. Our courses are designed for beginner to advanced learners and run during the day, evening and on weekends. Our accredited English language courses are funded by the government and are free to permanent residents. These courses are marked with (free).

Interview Days

To make sure that the course you choose is the right one for you, we require all new learners to have an interview with one of our experienced teachers. In the interview we will find out your English language level, tell you about the courses on offer and what you will be studying as well as organise your enrolment. You cannot enrol straight into a English language course, you must have an interview first.

Interview dates for Term 1, 2012 are:

  • Monday February 6th – 10:00am – 4:00pm
  • Monday February 6th - 6pm – 8pm Night time assessment
  • Tuesday – February 7th – 10:00am – 4:00pm

Please call 9687 2072 to book an appointment. All day assessments will be held in Room 67, Level 2, 48 George Street Parramatta, across the road from Office Works. Night assessments will be held at 410 Church Street (enter from Ross Street). The night time interview times are for people wishing to enrol in the night time courses and people who can’t attend interviews in the daytime. (Click on the location for a map)

Please bring your passport on the day to show proof of residency if you intend to enrol in a free course
