ESOL

Our courses are here to help you improve your English skills from reading and writing to speaking and listening. 

If you are a complete beginner or would like to gain a qualification to help with work or study we have courses to meet your needs, supporting you whilst living in an English speaking environment.

Classes for adults aged 19+ who do not have English as their first language. 

ESOL learners practise reading, writing and speaking and listening to support life in the UK. We also look at grammar and punctuation at levels from E1, E2, E3. L1 to L2. These classes can help you with finding a job, being part of our community and teach you employability skills. They also help you learn about Britain, it's laws, values, diversity and culture. 

We run courses from Beginners to Level 2. These classes are exam classes, and you will be entered for exams when your tutor feels you are ready. 

We also run community learning courses that do not have an exam. The community learning courses can prepare you for starting an exam course or if you are looking to improve your English for daily life, then these are the courses for you.
