About this course

Entry Level 3 ESOL Skills for Life: Reading Course in Lambeth. Evening classes run at Morley College London Waterloo Campus, part-time over 6 weeks. It's free for some learners, and fees may apply for others. Check the college website for details on funding options. You'll take an initial assessment before you start. This determines your current level of English and confirms the course is the right fit. The course develops your reading skills in English for speakers of other languages, alongside writing and speaking practice.

Who this course is for
