In briefA 2-week stay in Sydney costs from 2,200.00 AUD (≈ 1,367 EUR) at ELC: the closest formula to the standard stay that this school sells (course: Intensive General English; accommodation: breakfast), compulsory fees included, outside peak season, excluding flights and transfers.

Prices for a stay in Sydney: 2, 4, 8 and 12 weeks

The cost of a language course in Sydney depends on the school and the length of stay. The table prices a standard stay at ELC, an English language school in Sydney for 2027: the standard course, homestay in a single room, and the compulsory fees. Across the four durations the course never changes: only the length of stay varies, so that the rows can be compared. This school does not sell exactly this formula: the table uses the closest formula it sells and names it in the table caption.
