About this course

There are no formal entry requirements.

When you apply, you will be invited to attend an assessment session. One of our tutors will talk to you, and you will complete an assessment in order to find out your level and identify the most appropriate class for you.



We do ask that you want to improve your English skills and have a willingness to attend every session, work independently and achieve the qualification within the agreed timescales.
