ESOL Programme (English for Speakers of Other Languages)
About this Course:
Our ESOL course is designed for second language speakers (EU and non EU) looking to stay and make a life for themselves here in the UK. The programme teaches English language skills (reading, writing, speaking and listening) alongside citizenship skills and leads to a qualification that is recognised by the Home Office, colleges and employers. Learners who successfully complete the course will be able to apply for a VISA extension or UK citizenship, or may be able to use the qualification to apply for another college course or a job (depending on the level).
Assessment Methods:
You will have an initial assessment first, when we will determine what level your language is at and place you in an appropriate class. You will take ESOL Skills for Life exams at the end of the course.
Progression:
You can progress to the next level of ESOL, or progress onto a vocational course within the college dependent on your level of English.
