Step by step

Before you set your foot on the Australian soil, there is a lot of preparation work to be done! Bridge Agency has worked out a proven scheme, which enables us to assist you with every step you take on your way to studying and living in Australia.

Whichever stage you are at, we are always happy to give you free advice on schools, courses and places where you can undertake your studies.

First of all, you need to pick your school and a course. To do so, you can avail of our automatic enrolment procedure via our online booking system. In this way, the preparation time can be shortened even up to three weeks, depending on the commencement date of your course and the availability of flights.

Please see below for our Step by Step procedures. Please note, you need to register and log in to enter this section.

Step 1. Pick a course

This can be done through a course search engine or by checking the course list on a school description page. You can choose from the three categories:

For your convenience, you can narrow the search criteria by choosing a city you are interested in and the preferred course specialization. There are various course specializations for different types of school (language schools, colleges and universities).

Step 2. Description and school presentation

Once the results have been obtained, you can sort them by price, city, school or specialization. Also you can move on directly to the course description or see the description of the school in which you have chosen the course. If you go directly to the course description, from that level you can move on to work out the price of the course and book your trip using the tool "Check price/Book course". List of most popular schools represented by Bridge Agency can be found here.

From the course description level you can calculate and make reservation of a travel. In order to do that you need to be logged in (create account).

Step 3. Check price

Our price calculator will help you estimate your trip’s total cost. During the calculation a few things are taken into consideration: the course’s duration, campus or city. Colleges and universities have bi-annual semester fees, while some colleges may have fees per term (3 months) in place. The final calculation amount is the Tuition Fee which should be paid to your school of choice before the trip.

Detailed instructions are on page Price calculator. Instruction is available after logging in (create account). You can find the example images of our price calculator in working on the right side.

Step 4. Complete and confirm

Once you have picked your course, you can proceed to the online booking option. At first, you will be asked fill in and confirm your personal details. Then, one of our consultants will check the availability of the course for you, of which you will be informed by email or phone. Finally, you can decide which of the two booking option you would like to go for:

  • a traditional booking procedure whereby the enrolment process is organized by one of our staff members. read more
  • an online application (i.e. Bridge On-Line) where no administrative fee applies and the applicant organizes parts of his trip on his own.

If you opt for the traditional booking procedure, we will invite you to come to one of our offices in order to sign a contract with us. If it is more convenient to you, we can post the contract to you as well. With the second option – once you are done with your online booking, we will prepare all the relevant documentation and pass it to your school of choice.

In both cases, once we receive a confirmation of your placement, you will be automatically switched to step 5.

Remember, if you have any queries please feel free to contact our consultants in Europe and Australia.

Caution! Do not forget to use our special web section for clients with confirmed course reservation:
