“ Hi, I’m David from Colombia, currently taking a General English course at SERO Institute.

It has been great!!! I have been here for 3 months and what I like most is the environment and way they teach because I can practice my English with everyone here, and people and staff are always willing to help you. SERO has completed all my expectations. ”

“ I’ve been studying Certificate IV in Commercial Cookery at SERO Institute for 6 months now and loving it! My favourite is the cooking classes where we prepare seafood, chicken, duck and many more dishes, plus the kitchen is spacious and well equipped. Mark is super friendly and professional teacher with many years of experience in the industry, so I feel like I can learn a lot from him!

“ Hi, I’m Lydia Tan Ying from Malaysia.

I’m studying Intermediate English at SERO Institute, starting in November 2018.

I definitely recommend this school for General English because the school gives us the best equipment, the kitchen has two ovens, water dispenser and refrigerator. I have met a lot of kind and fun teachers in this school, they are using the fun action to explain everything to me. Sometimes they will pick us out to do outdoor activities and learn from the moment.

I expect my English will become much more fluent when I graduate, and I hope the school has more students in the future. ”

I started 4 weeks ago, I like my class in general, the students and teacher. We are doing grammar, vocabulary, speaking, listening and some writing things.

I expected it’s good because we mix everything, so it’s formal English but we learn Australian slang too. It’s a good compromise between conscientious and funny studying. ”

The school has good connections and I think Abhi, Kevin and Helen are great teachers. Everything’s well described and easy to understand, though a lot of the material is on the internet, so I hope they would add a small portfolio or book to the course.

I like to go to the gym on my free time, and I work on a construction side to support my studies. ”

I studied General English course at SERO INSTITUTE for 1 year and I never study English before I left Thailand but I feel that I am continually improving my speaking, reading, writing and I am lucky to have had great teachers like Valery and Daniel.

It was a great experience for me to study at SERO Institute!!

Thank you”

“ Hi, I’m Tee from Thailand.

I’m studying the Commercial Cookery course at SERO Institute North Quay campus. The thing that I really love here is the practice place which is the kitchen in Sofitel Brisbane Centre. It’s very convenient and fulfilled with the professional environment, and every tool in the kitchen is usable at work.

I’m also working at Bruno Café during my studies. I can bring the knowledge from what I learn and practice at school to adapt when I’m working there. It’s very useful for my career path. ”
