Improve Your English Skills for Everyday Life, Work and Further Learning

The ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) programme is designed to help adults improve their English language skills, build confidence and become more independent in everyday life.

Whether you are new to learning English or looking to develop your skills further, our ESOL courses provide supportive learning opportunities from Pre-entry through to Level 2.

Learners develop practical communication skills that can be used at home, in the workplace, within the local community and in further education.
