Hong Kong is a unique city that offers stunning views of the Victoria Harbor as well as one of the most famous skylines in the world. Street stalls sell delicious local dishes and air-conditioned shopping malls sell the latest fashions from all over the world. As a global financial center, the city hums with the excitement of international business deals. Known as the World City of Asia, modern Hong Kong is a combination of many different cultures, creating an exciting and vibrant place to live and work.

Participants of our tesol course in Hong Kong can be sure that they not only leave with the skills needed to teach English abroad but with memories that will last a lifetime. You will study with fellow trainees from all over the world and share in the joys of all this exciting city has to offer. The locals are friendly and incredibly keen to learn and becoming friends is inevitable.

Life in Hong Kong is exciting and fun, there is always something new to see or do. The city is home to a number of tourist attractions such as Disneyland and Ocean Park Hong Kong. The city is also known as a “shopping paradise” with a multitude of shops and department stores selling the latest fashions and other goods. To escape the hustle and bustle of the city you can take a ferry to the outlying islands and go hiking in the many hills.

The School

Our training center is located in the heart of Kwun Tong District and is well situated for access to the rest of the city via the Ngau Tou Kok MTR station. From here you can reach the airport, Causeway Bay, Disneyland and other attractions within an hour. You can travel to the outlying islands on the nearby ferry services while in Kwun Tong itself there are plenty of restaurants and cafes offering international and local cuisine.

Located on the 18th floor of a newly renovated office tower in Kwun Tong District, our TESOL classroom affords trainees a spectacular 180-degree view of Victoria Harbor which gives way to the stunning illuminated skyline once the sun goes down. Seafood lovers will be in their element at nearby Lei Yun Mun, an area famous for its fresh seafood markets and restaurants serving live king crabs, jumbo shrimp and other seafood that can be chosen directly from the tank.

 

In the training center is a modern lounge with a coffee machine, refrigerator and microwave. The following services are also available:

• Long-distance direct dial upon request;

Accommodation

Course participants have a number of different housing options to choose from. All options are located within approximately one hour of the training school in the Kowloon area. As soon as you arrive in Hong Kong we recommend getting an ‘Octopus Card’; this is a travel pass that allows you to get to most parts of the city on the excellent public transport system.

The price for reserving a monthly room starts at around $US450. Please be sure to book your room in advance as places are on a ‘first come, first served’ basis.

Here are some of the accommodation options:

• A local youth hostel: Rates for the youth hostel option vary from $US15 to 60 per night. Lower rates will be for shared rooms. We advise checking major hostel websites for reservation details. Should you need further help, we will be more than happy to assist you.
• Staying with a local family: Prices for this choice range between $US400 and 800. This is a great choice for those wanting to experience the real Hong Kong, giving you the opportunity to get to know the locals and make friendships that will last a lifetime. Please note that this option is subject to availability.
• You can choose from hundreds of hotels and guesthouses. The Hong Kong Tourist Bureau has plenty of information with regard the options available throughout the city, or you can book a hotel at your favourite booking website. 

Please note that you are strongly advised to start making your housing arrangements immediately after you have booked your flight. The sooner you start preparing, the more options you will have. We will make every effort to assist you with your accommodation requirements while you are in Hong Kong, but it should be noted that we cannot guarantee that all the options will be available. This is due to space availability, peak travel season, etc.
