ESOL (English for Speakers of other Languages)

 English courses for speakers of other languages are offered at the following three levels:

• Beginner

• Intermediate

All courses lead to a recognised University of Cambridge qualification.

ESOL courses are delivered at all centres and at various community outreach centres. We are willing to provide ESOL teaching to any community group at their own centre/s or venue/s, and at times that will suit them provided the number of people is 10 and above.

We also teach basic computer skills with ESOL, using our laptop computers. Please come and speak to us if interested.
