What is the weather like?

The climate of Sydney is humid subtropical (Köppen Cfa), shifting from mild and cool in winter to warm and hot in the summer, with no extreme seasonal differences as the weather is moderated by proximity to the ocean, although more contrasting temperatures are recorded in the inland western suburbs.

What kind of food is available?

Sydney serves meat and vegetarian cuisine. It is cheaper to eat out than to buy groceries locally. Meals are low as $10 per meal.

Are there any accommodations with the training?

We have a set number of rooms set aside  for a limited number of students,  but you welcome to arrange own accommodations for the duration of the program.

How safe is Sydney?

Personal Security. Sydney is like any other major city, it’s not crime free, but it is relatively safe, particularly in the main tourist areas. There have been problems around George St from the cinemas and south to Haymarket late at night so be careful in this area or don’t hang around there too late.
