Thinking of doing (starting) a new language course at the language and cultural studies center.. probably Japanese
Language and Cultural Studies: Centre for Continuing Education (CCE), The University of Sydney

What r the classes like, eg class size, is it conversational type, or just like attending a boring lecture? and are they usually uni students that enrol?

-Most language classes are quite participatory - it won't involve a lecture standing at the front of the room and talking in several hour blocks, you will have plenty of opportunities to complete in-class tasks and conversational exercises.
-The continuing education classes will be populated by a variety of age groups - some may have just finished their undergraduate degree, others will have returned to education after an extended break.
-I'm not completely sure about the size of the classes - my guess is that they will be around the size of a university tutorial, so probably between 20-25 people. But that is only a guess.

Are you awarded anything after you've done the classes, is it like a Tafe diploma or something?

 

[Silver Persian]

From the website, I don't think you receive any kind of diploma or degree from having completed a particular set of courses. Each subject is enrolled in as an individual subject, rather than as part of a study program.

But I would imagine that completing the individual courses would be a valuable addition to your resume.
