About this course

Entry Level 1 ESOL Skills for Life: Reading Course in Kensington and Chelsea. Classes run at Morley College London North Kensington Campus, part-time during the day. It's free for some learners, and fees may apply for others. Check the college website for details on funding options. The course runs over 5 weeks and covers reading, writing, speaking, and listening in English. Each term focuses on one skill, and you earn a certificate for each skill you pass. You'll start with an initial assessment to confirm Entry Level 1 is the right starting point.

Who this course is for

This course is for you if you want to improve your reading, writing, speaking and listening in English to help you in your everyday life and work. In this course, you will develop reading, speaking and listening, and writing skills. Each term includes all four skills but focuses on a specific skill for the exam taken in that term. When you pass each skill you will receive a certificate for that particular skill. To achieve the full ESOL Entry Level 1 qualification, you must pass Speaking and Listening Entry Level 1, Reading Entry Level 1 and Writing Entry Level 1.
