This is Stanley College's campus in central Perth, a few blocks back from the Swan River. The college is a private vocational (VET) provider, so courses lead to nationally recognised certificates and diplomas rather than degrees. International students typically study hospitality, cookery, business or early childhood education. Not every course runs at every Stanley campus, so check where yours is taught.

Perth's city centre is compact, with free CAT buses and the Transperth trains meeting at Perth Station. Elizabeth Quay and the river foreshore are a short walk away.
Perth is sunny and relaxed, with beaches at Cottesloe and Scarborough. It is a long way from other big cities, and rents have climbed quickly in recent years.

Stanley College enrols students for several intakes a year. Apply at least two to three months before your start date so there is time for the CoE and the student visa.
Courses start several times a year, commonly around January, April, July and October. Dates vary by course, so confirm them with the college.
You'll apply for a subclass 500 Student visa using the CoE from Stanley College. Have your OSHC policy, financial evidence and Genuine Student answers ready before you start the online form.
Hospitality management, commercial cookery, leadership and management and early childhood education are typical choices. Entry usually needs Year 12 or equivalent, age 18 or over and English at about IELTS 5.5. Check which campus delivers your course.
Private VET colleges rarely offer large scholarships. Stanley College may run fee discounts for some intakes, so ask the college or your education agent.
