Study and work abroad with Nōmadas

Nōmadas Experience is a study abroad agency and a student community. We help you choose a destination, school and programme and prepare for your experience.

The community continues at your destination: meet people, join activities and stay in touch with your guide. Ask which services are available in your chosen city.

With Nōmadas, you can plan with a guide, compare courses and destinations and access a community on arrival. Your choices are based on your goals, English level, budget and current circumstances.

Explore our offices and student stories to see whether we are a good fit. In your first conversation, ask who will support you, which services your city offers and how to reach the team during your stay.

Complete the contact form with your goals, nationality, where you live and what you would like to study. A guide will review education options and next steps with you.

You can then compare a proposal, clarify prices and review conditions before confirming enrolment. You do not need all the answers for that first conversation.

Your guide can help you access Universe and find community resources for your destination. You can also check the events calendar and ask to join your city’s WhatsApp group.

Put the proposals side by side for the same study period and record the course, campus, duration, timetable and start date. Separate academic charges from other items and identify what is included and what remains unconfirmed. If one offer uses a different calendar, ask for that difference to be explained before comparing only the totals.

Add your priorities: the learning goal, the time you have available and the budget you can support. Keep each proposal version and bring specific questions to your guide. An option may have an attractive price while still being unsuitable for the programme or dates you need.

Start with what you would like to study, the destinations you are considering and the period when you could travel. Explain your previous education and what you know about your language level. If some points are still open, say so; you do not need to invent a date or a preference to begin the conversation.

Make a short list of the decisions you want to resolve first. At the end, summarise which alternatives you will review and which information is missing. Use the appropriate private channel for personal documents; an initial enquiry does not require publishing your details in comments or groups.

Nōmadas advises on study options in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Ireland and Dubai. Available programmes and services vary by destination.

Choosing a country also involves comparing entry requirements, living costs, English level and work conditions. Language courses do not provide the same work rights in every country.

Compare the course first, then your preferred lifestyle: city size, climate, transport, distance to school and housing budget. No city is best for everyone.

Melbourne and Sydney offer a big-city experience; Gold Coast combines beach areas and study; Brisbane and Perth offer different settings and rhythms. Read the guides for indicative budgets and compare accommodation for your dates.

ELICOS means intensive English courses for international students. VET is vocational education focused on an occupation or field. Higher education includes bachelor's and master's degrees, among other options.

Your choice depends on what you want to learn and your previous education. Academic requirements, English level, duration and assessment vary by institution. Ask for the programme's full name and entry requirements.

Yes. Some English schools offer groups at different levels, including beginner levels. The school must confirm availability and the placement test used to assign your group.

Admission to an English course and visa requirements are separate matters. For VET or university, check the required level and accepted tests or pathways at each institution.

Duration depends on your starting level, goal and practice time. A placement test helps with planning, but nobody can guarantee a particular level in an exact number of weeks.

If you want to progress to vocational or university study, request a pathway with entry and progression requirements. Enrolling in multiple courses and any future visa application must be assessed for your circumstances.

There is no single price: totals vary by country, city, programme, duration and accommodation. Use the same dates and check every item when comparing proposals.

Include tuition, enrolment and materials; health insurance; permit fees; flights; initial accommodation and deposit; transport, food and an emergency reserve. Request prices in the original currency and check how long the quote is valid.

Some institutions offer payment schedules, but availability and amounts depend on the programme and provider. Your guide can help compare the conditions in each proposal.

Before confirming, check the deposit, due dates, currency, possible surcharges and what happens if you change your start date. Instalments do not remove other financial requirements for your permit.

Availability depends on the school, programme, offer and your profile. Ask about current promotions or scholarships and their requirements before comparing the final price.

Check what they cover, the deadline and the conditions for keeping them. A course promotion does not mean the visa, insurance, flights or accommodation are included.

Before the course, write down a few situations you would like to handle more confidently in the language: asking a question in class, explaining an idea or understanding a conversation. Bring those examples to the school when discussing your level and learning goals. Ask how the course provides feedback and how you can use it to guide your independent study. A personal goal makes the experience easier to review than relying only on the number of weeks you have booked.

During the stay, keep short notes on what has become easier and what you still find difficult. Choose a manageable practice activity for the next week and review it after trying it. You can discuss those observations with your teacher and adjust your priorities. Progress varies between people, so use your own starting point as the reference and keep space for rest, everyday responsibilities and the social side of your experience.

For example, you could keep a brief record of a conversation you found difficult, the phrase you wanted to use and a way to practise it before a similar situation. You do not need to record other people or turn every activity into a lesson. A few written observations can help you explain your questions to the teacher and recognise changes over time. Review the notes alongside the feedback provided by the school, rather than judging the whole experience from one unusually easy or difficult day.

The Welcome Session is an introductory meeting about the city and your first steps. Depending on the destination, it may be in person or online and cover transport, banking, phones and daily life.

The Welcome Pack is your welcome kit. Confirm with your guide what it includes, where to collect it and which services are available for your programme, so you know what to prepare before flying.

Arrange initial accommodation before travelling and compare its location with your school and transport. A temporary booking can give you time to explore the city before signing a longer contract.

Check what the price includes, the deposit, cancellation terms and the provider's identity. Do not assume accommodation is included with your course; ask for it to be stated explicitly in the proposal.

Yes. You can explore available activities from the moment you arrive. Events are a way to meet people, share experiences and start feeling part of the city.

Check each event's location, price if any, capacity and registration requirements. Some activities also welcome friends or people who do not study through Nōmadas.

The referral programme recognises people who recommend Nōmadas to others. Participation and benefits are subject to the programme's current terms.

Check who can participate, what the referred person must complete and when a benefit is earned. Do not assume a fixed amount or an automatic reward before reviewing those terms.

Refunds depend on each school, insurer and contracted service's conditions, as well as the reason and timing of cancellation. Not every payment follows the same rules.

Before paying, request the cancellation policy, non-refundable costs, required documents and refund deadlines in writing. If an issue occurs, contact your guide and keep receipts and communications.

Nōmadas offers guidance to prepare your job search, such as adapting your CV, finding local resources and checking available workshops or activities. Ask your guide what support is active when you arrive.

The service does not include a guaranteed job: selection and hiring are up to employers. Beyond your CV, check job requirements, wage conditions and the hours your permit allows.

Beginner English can limit opportunities, even in roles with little customer contact. Finding work also depends on your experience, availability, city and work rights.

Improve your English from the start, prepare a suitable CV and check job requirements. Arriving as a student does not guarantee a job in any sector or within a particular timeframe.

Explain what changed and identify the proposal you mean. A new date may affect the course intake, planned payments or reservations you have considered. Ask for the related parts to be reviewed before assuming all previous conditions remain available.

Distinguish an alternative you are exploring from a confirmed change. Keep responses from the institution and relevant providers with the updated plan. This makes it easier to see what has been resolved and what still needs a specific confirmation.

Begin with the essentials: how to reach the accommodation, where your academic activities start and which contact to use if you need the instructions clarified. Keep that information accessible while travelling. Allow time to rest and become familiar with the journey to school.

Then add community activities and explore the city according to your timetable and budget. You do not need to settle every decision in the first week. Separate confirmed appointments from optional plans and review each activity’s details before joining.
