English is essential for any job or course of study you might want to do in the UK.

Throughout the year, we run many ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) courses that could suit your needs.

You can learn conversational English or study for exams such as Cambridge First, Cambridge English: Advanced (CAE), and the Cambridge English Proficiency (CPE) exam.

You will study all aspects of the English language: speaking and listening, reading and writing, grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation.

If you are not a British citizen or you want to extend your visa, we can also help you to prepare for UK Visa Extension and ‘Life in the UK’ exams with our citizenship courses.

Refugee and asylum seeker offers

Because of the high demand for English language lessons, we have made a range of courses that will support the large number of asylum seekers who are hoping to enrol onto our courses at our colleges.

We are working with local authorities and charities to help refugees and asylum seekers get the essential skills that they need to transition into life and work in the United Kingdom.

Please call us on 0800 612 6008 or email us for more details.
