Success Information

Our well-established ESOL courses are for all ages and taught by experienced and friendly staff. Many learners progress to the next level in ESOL. Some learners move on to part-time or full-time programmes in vocational areas. A number of learners progress at work as a result of improving their level of English.

Case Studies

Many of the learners on our courses are very positive about their experiences in their ESOL groups: Ahmed joined an Entry 2 course in January and has passed his Reading and Writing exams: 'I enjoyed my class and I really liked my teacher.' Krystyna attended a Level 1 course last year and passed all Reading, Writing, Speaking & Listening exams. She is now in a Level 2 group and planning to apply for a Catering course next year: 'ESOL classes really helped me to improve my English, make friends and gave me ideas for the future. I have really enjoyed coming to classes and it really helped to be able to come in the evening, after work.'
