The College welcomes learners from all different cultures and nationalities who want to learn or improve their English, and gain recognised qualifications.

ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages)

We have a bespoke programme for young people aged 16-18. Where you will attend college for 3 full days a week, improving your speaking, listening, reading and writing. You will also develop your maths and IT skills, along with learning about life in the UK. The course is FREE* of charge. We will also consider the registration of 15 year olds on a case by case basis.

Our 16-18 ESOL course is offered at 4 levels, listed below:
