ESOL Courses

ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) courses are for people who do not have English as their first language.

These courses will help you improve your English and can also help you to get more out of life in the UK.

Supportive Tutors for All Levels

Our courses are run by experienced tutors for students of all levels and abilities. You can gain qualifications in ESOL awarded by the University of Cambridge.

What’s Next? Endless Possibilities

When you come to the College, we will carry out a simple test which will make sure that we put you on the right level of course. When you finish your course, you can progress on to higher level ESOL courses or one of our vocational courses, such as Health & Social Care or Hairdressing and many more.
