ESOL - English for Speakers of Other Languages - Part-Time

Better English will:

• Give you the language and study skills you need to progress to a vocational course, A-levels, access course or university degree

• Improve your skills and confidence at home and work

• Help you to apply for jobs

• Help you work in a team

• Help you to learn about life in the UK

• Give you the skills to gain a nationally recognised qualification in language

We also offer a full-time equivalent of the ESOL course for students aged 16-18 year-olds starting each September.

Whilst there are no entry requirements, you will complete an assessment prior to starting your course to determine the appropriate level for you.

Courses are generally offered on Tuesday and Thursday evening but we may also have sessions in the day (subject to interest)
