ESOL & EFL information

ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages)

ESOL courses are fee-paying courses that can help you with your grammar, listening, speaking, pronunciation, reading and writing skills.  There are classes at 5 levels: Entry 1, 2 and 3 and Level 1 and 2.

You will have the opportunity to gain a qualification at different times of the year and develop your knowledge of ICT and computing.  We offer fast track courses over two terms, some year-long courses and some short one-term courses. You can study in the mornings, afternoons or evenings.

There is a course fee (which already includes the exam fee) for all ESOL courses. Some students may qualify for reductions to their course fee or may be able to apply for help with part of their fees from the College Bursary Fund. See our Course Fees page for details.
