Should I do an English or ESOL course?
This will depend on your background. If you went to school in the UK or English is your first language, these classes are for you. If not, then our ESOL classes could be more suitable.
What courses do you offer?
We offer a wide range of courses to help you improve your English and Maths for your day-to-day life or to gain a qualification so you can study at a higher level. Improving your English and Maths can also help you to find a job and increase your earning potential.

Most learners start in September but it is also possible to join functional skills courses in January.
Our GCSE courses start in September – however, some people may be able to join in January if they have previous experience and can catch up on the first term’s work. This would be discussed with you at your initial assessment.
