ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) Courses

We offer six levels of ESOL from Beginner to Upper-Intermediate. In order to ensure you are enrolled on the right course for you, we carry out a short initial assessment in spoken and written English. As many of our ESOL learners want to improve their employment prospects, some of our courses combine ESOL with employment-related skills such as IT, Business and Hospitality.

ICT Courses

Our IT courses are designed to help both those with few ICT skills and those who want to refresh or update their existing skills. You can join classes from beginners to upper intermediate levels and work towards a high level of competence in the Microsoft Office skills and in the use of tablets.

Employability Courses

Employability courses are suitable for anyone wishing to develop skills to work towards a career goal or find employment. We aim to match our employability courses to the skills that local employers need so that following completion of your employability course you have a real chance of finding work or progressing to higher level learning.

Personal Development Courses (women only)

These courses are designed for women who would like to gain an insight into how to manage their personal situations better, build confidence, set goals and meet new people in a friendly environment. They are delivered by highly experienced tutors.
