English

Improving your English skills can help you become more confident in your work or daily life, and help you to prepare for further study or training. This well-established programme offers you the opportunity to improve your English skills within a supportive and friendly atmosphere. Our specialist English tutors will help you develop your reading, writing and communication skills, enabling you to achieve a Functional Skills English qualification. If you are interested then all you need to do is telephone 0845 155 2020 to arrange an appointment with one of our tutors who will discuss your needs.

Students can work towards Entry Level qualifications and at Levels 1 and 2. Assessment is paper based or on-line at Entry Level, Levels 1 and 2.

No qualifications are required, although you will need to attend an informal interview. Students are unable to enrol directly onto the course.

By the end of your programme you should have: - gained a recognised English qualification, helping you gain access to further courses, training programmes and job opportunities. - new skills to help you cope with reading, writing and communication at work and in everyday life.

This is a well-established course taught by experienced and friendly staff, which means that most of our learners achieve their personal goals. Our students go on to many different destinations. Many students progress to the next level or are accepted onto vocational or academic courses in the college. A number of students find that they progress at work after having achieved the next level of Functional Skills English.

Our students have given some very positive feedback about their experiences on our English courses: ' I have learnt so much in my classes, I feel much more confident about spelling'. Rob Rob came to the college after having been out of education for a number of years. He wanted to improve his English to be able to be more independent and help his children more. 'I have really enjoyed my English classes and it's great to be able to attend in the evening, so I can fit it in around work'. Laura Laura joined the college in 2011-12 to gain Level 1 English so that she could get a better job. She returned in 2012-13 to gain Level 2 English because she had successfully gained a promotion.
