ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages)...

What it includes

Suitable for 16 to 18 year old learners who are relatively new arrivals in the UK and who do not have the level of English required to progress into mainstream provision elsewhere, this full-time programme consists of:

• ESOL English
• Maths
• IT
• Employability Skills

Our maths classes are particularly suitable if you are not yet familiar with maths terminology in English. You'll learn new words like 'fractions and division' and apply basic maths skills in everyday situations.

During your employability sessions, you’ll gain valuable job skills, like how to write a CV, complete an application form and interview skills, helping prepare you for future employment.

Our Foundation programme also gives you an exciting opportunity to take part in work experience. You’ll be assigned a place of work where you’ll come into contact with potential employers and deal with clients. You’ll gain practical work skills and develop your communication and organisational skills.

Our ESOL programme will help you adapt into life in the UK. We have young learners from over 20 countries studying on our ESOL study programme and many of our students come back to thank us for the help and support our tutors have given them.

Previous learners have progressed to other college programmes such as Business & IT, Hair & Beauty, Construction and Childcare whilst others have gone on to do academic qualifications before progressing to university. 

Our quality work placements will give you a solid grounding to working life in the UK and for many, these have led to regular employment.
