What is this course about?
ESOL courses are for people whose first language is not English. We have courses at all levels from Entry (Beginners) to Level 2 (equivalent to GCSE). Courses are at different times…morning, afternoon, late afternoon, evening and Saturdays. Classes are at 4 main sites and at community venues. Morning, afternoon, Entry 1, 2 and 3 courses fill up very quickly so if you can attend late afternoon (3-6 or 4-6), evening or Saturday or at Level 1 or Level 2 there are more opportunities for classes. All courses have the opportunity to take external qualifications (e.g Cambridge, Trinity, City & Guilds or OCR) and Tutors will advise as appropriate.
