English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) courses
If English isn't your first language, our courses will help you to develop your communication skills for everyday situations. You will have the opportunity to work with students from many different countries: you'll make new friends, boost your confidence, learn how to read, write and speak clearly in English.
You will be asked to complete a short assessment to help us place you on the right course. You will be asked to provide photo ID, proof of residence status in the UK/EU and any previous ESOL certificates you have. This helps to make the enrolment process easier. A fee may apply subject to eligibility.
