Good Hope Studies (registered as Graserkrat Studies CC t/a Good Hope Studies, CK 88/28644/23) is a private English-language school in Cape Town, South Africa, founded in 1995. It operates two campuses: an original residential-style centre in Newlands and a second campus in a historic building in the City Centre. The school specialises in English as a foreign/second language for international students aged 17 and up, offering general English, exam preparation, English-plus-volunteering/activities, business English and private tuition from beginner to proficiency level, rather than degree-level academic study. It is a member of EAQUALS, IALC and English South Africa, industry bodies for quality assurance in language teaching. The institution's own website does not state CHE or DHET registration, though a third-party directory (Skills Portal) lists it as DHET-registered private college with registration number 2018/FE07/025 offering an FET Certificate in Foundation Learning Competence (Level 2).
