Summary
LOWER PRICE! Fully compliant Adelaide CRICOS ELICOS college with 7-year ASQA approval & NEAS endorsement. A turnkey opportunity for an operator seeking a clean, reputable and scalable English college.
Potential
The business currently has a CRICOS capacity of 162, however there is significant scope to increase this capacity to a maximum of 400 depending on the courses and shifts offered. Future growth lies in enhanced agent relationships and consistent international recruitment. Adding VET qualifications would unlock additional revenue streams. The ELICOS sector is rebounding strongly, and this college is ideally placed to capitalise. Adding pathway programs or VET offerings would further extend revenue potential without major structural change.
Reason for Sale
The founder is an academic and compliance specialist who built the college from inception and now wishes to reprioritise family life. Having achieved long-term regulatory stability, he is seeking a buyer with strong recruitment and marketing capability to take the business to its next phase. The sale provides an opportunity for an experienced operator to acquire a high-quality, fully compliant, and respected ELICOS provider in excellent operational condition.
History
Founded in 2019 by an experienced educator, the college began operations following CRICOS approval in 2023. Despite industry-wide ELICOS downturns, the business steadily grew its student base and built a strong reputation. In 2025, the college secured its seven-year re-registration with ASQA and NEAS recognition. The premises were upgraded to a larger, purpose-built site with four classrooms, providing both operational efficiency and growth capacity.
About the Business
Now offered at a reduced price, this Adelaide-based ELICOS college delivers high-quality English language education to international students. Fully compliant, it holds both ASQA re-registration and NEAS endorsement, underlining its status as a quality-assured provider.
The college offers General English and IELTS Preparation programs to a diverse student cohort from Latin America, Asia, and Europe. Each program is built on strong academic frameworks, interactive learning, and student-centred teaching.
The 9B occupancy certificate authorises up to 100 students, while the site layout can comfortably accommodate 160+ students with minor adjustments. Lease terms are attractive, with a 3+3-year agreement starting June 2025 at approximately $6,000 per month, providing stability and cost efficiency in a prime CBD location.
Repriced for sale at $249,000, this genuine walk-in, walk-out opportunity includes all registrations, licences, intellectual property, and physical assets. The vendor is happy to assist with a structured handover, including teaching or compliance support if required.
The college enjoys a strong reputation in Adelaide’s English language sector, backed by a 5.0 Google review average, numerous student testimonials, and vibrant social media engagement.
All systems, policies, and resources are professionally developed and in active use. The college operates through a modern student management, ensuring smooth compliance and streamlined administration. Teaching staff are qualified, stable, and experienced, with the Director of Studies and founder providing strong academic leadership.
With long registration security, quality endorsement, excellent operational systems, and now a reduced sale price, this business represents one of Adelaide’s most appealing small-scale CRICOS acquisitions.
