Entry Requirements

Before starting the course, we will ask you to complete an initial assessment interview. This will assess your language level and allow us to place you on the correct course.

Delivery & Assessment methods

We believe strongly in a communicative classroom and you will have the opportunity to practise English through pair work, group discussion and role plays as well as reading and writing activities. You will have the opportunity to take exams in speaking/listening, reading and writing at three points throughout the year.

You can progress to the next level of ESOL or, subject to your English level, join a mainstream college course.
