COLLEGE GUIDE
2021
Each morning when I walk on the beach, I feel so
lucky to live in this amazing place. I’ve taught
English for twenty years in more than seven
countries and I still believe the Gold Coast is
the best place to live and study English. You
will enjoy the beaches, city, bush and sitting
outside cafes and restaurants enjoying our warm,
sunny weather. Inforum Education is the school
SIMON CRAFT I created in 2007 where my friendly staff and
highly qualified teachers will welcome you and
MANAGING DIRECTOR help you achieve your goals. I hope to meet you
at Inforum very soon.
