Course programme
Spanish is also studied at NVQ level. This is a valuable opportunity for you to develop practical communication skills with vocationally relevant material.
Community Languages: Wherever possible we try to offer languages spoken by students at home as examination subjects, such as Urdu, Turkish and Arabic.
Languages are an investment in your future: speaking more than one language is a huge bonus in today's global job market where trade, business and administration are conducted across national boundaries. If you enjoy talking to people and asking questions then languages are for you.
