We offer free ESOL, English and maths courses for everyone, at a variety of times throughout the day. Courses are normally 12 weeks long.
English for speakers of other languages (ESOL)
We offer a range of classes that can help you to learn or improve your spoken English language.
Classes are available for complete beginners who need help getting started in reading and writing, through to classes for confident speakers. All our courses include citizenship and employability.
To enrol on a basic skills course you will first need to be assessed. We will then offer you a place on the course that is right for you. The teacher will discuss and plan with you what skills you would like to work on.
Speaking and listening exams are available at all levels starting at entry 1 ESOL and speaking, listening, reading and writing exams for both level 1 and level 2 ESOL.
If you would like to improve your spoken English language and learn another skill we also offer ESOL with IT, ESOL for dressmaking, ESOL for employability and ESOL for childcare.
