About this course
Please note this course runs Monday & Wednesday - 9.30am - 12.30pm
This beginner ESOL course aims to improve your English skills and your confidence in using these. This course is designed for speakers of other languages who are new to learning English and want to gain an ESOL Entry level 1-2 qualification.
Our experienced staff will help you to improve your reading, writing and speaking and listening. You will gain confidence in these skills whilst working in a group. You will start by doing an initial assessment to decide, with your tutor, which level you will be working at from Entry level 1-2. You will be assessed near the end of the course on these three elements and once you have completed these you will achieve a City and Guilds ESOL qualification.
This course runs for 37 weeks and requires you to attend 2 lessons a week. Please make sure that you can attend the lessons each week before enrolling on the course.
We provide our ESOL courses free of charge for learners who are eligible to study with us. To check your eligibility, we need some information from you, including your age, where you live, how long you have lived in England, and your residency status. If you receive benefits or have a low income, we may also ask for evidence of this. This helps us apply for funding to support your learning.
What you will need to bring to the course:
All resources that you need will be supplied by the tutor, but you may wish to have your own notebook to work in as well.
