English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) - 19+

Our English for Speakers of Other Languages courses are designed to help you to increase your independence, as well as develop the language skills you need for everyday life, employment and further study.

ESOL courses provide you with a thorough introduction to the English language, covering all four skills - listening, speaking, reading and writing.

You must be resident or permanently settled in the UK.

All applicants must have an initial assessment and interview to confirm that the course is suitable for them.

Your skills in speaking, listening, reading and writing will be assessed through examinations, and your tutor will advise you when you have the language skills needed to pass the exams.
