Welcome to CFBS Student Services

We are located in the heart of the Melbourne CBD and here to help students with several critical support services.

All our classes are held in clean, safe and secure city offices with our own kitchen & toilets and all modern facilities such as whiteboard, copier, printer, DVD / TV and audio player, ie no libraries, cafes or foodhalls!

We specialise in helping international students achieve 6s or 7s for IELTS (or now 8, from 1 July 2011). All our IELTS tutors are Australian and we have no more than 5 students per class.
 
We conduct 2hr Group classes in all 4 IELTS components – Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking.

We record your practice speaking tests and provide you with immediate feedback, then listen to the recording together. We provide you with a copy of the recordings so you can listen to them in your own time.

We provide you with letter and essay templates and review your writings with you. As required, we provide you with tailored coaching in English grammar in the areas you need to improve in.

You do not have to sign up for a "program." You can begin and stop attending classes as it suits you. You can attend classes for all 4 IELTS skills, or you can just attend classes for the skills you need to improve upon - its up to you. Of course we help you with your English grammar and speaking / pronunciation as required.

Please check with our office for our class schedule and fees.

One-on-one / private tutorials can also be arranged. These private tutorials are very popular for getting feedback on writing grammar and speaking / pronunciation. Generous discounts apply for students who team up to form their own "private" tutorials - details available upon request

This is program is a unique offering and delivered by highly educated Australian coaches with exceptional English skills and business experience. We cover everything you need to know about the job interview and selection process in Australia.

You might be an international student looking to commence your career. Or you might be a school leaver or tertiary graduate looking for your first job.

Have a look at our program details. We are also happy of course to provide you with full details – just call the office

As a Job Interview Program student, you receive free assistance with preparation of your CV and covering letter.

Remember however that each and every job application requires a re-think of your CV to ensure it is tailored to what the employer has stated they are looking for in candidates. It is also essential that your covering letter for each application is tailored to address the qualities the employer is looking for. Importantly, you don’t merely roll out the same CV and covering letter for all your applications! This is a recipe for failure, they will be just tossed aside.

So as a Job Interview Preparation student you receive ongoing assistance and review of your CVs and covering letters to ensure they are focused on what the employer is looking for.
