ESOL

English is essential for any job or studies you might want to follow.

If English is not your first language and you need to improve your English-language skills so that you can study or find work, we can help you.

We run many courses during the year, including ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages).

If you are not a British citizen or want to extend your visa, we can also help you to prepare for UK Visa Extension and ‘Life in the UK’ exams with our citizenship courses.

See below for details, then register your interest to arrange a free assessment of your language abilities and learn more about what course would be right for you.

There are different levels of ESOL classes so when you apply, you will come for an assessment to check which level class would be the best for you to join. You will study all aspects of the English language, including: speaking and listening, reading and writing, grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation.

Courses are part-time, in the daytime or evening.

Courses are divided into three terms and the cost for each term is £260. This might be lower, or higher, depending on your personal circumstances. Please see our funding page for more details.
