About this course

Entry Level 3 Functional Skills English Course in Newark. Classes run at Lincoln College Campus, part-time over 34 weeks, with day or block release attendance. You'll develop the practical English skills used in everyday life and work. The course covers reading, writing, speaking, and listening at Entry Level 3. You'll have an initial assessment to confirm this is the right level for you. The centre will use it to plan your learning.

Who this course is for

  • You'll spell and punctuate common words correctly.
  • You'll listen and respond in straightforward spoken exchanges.
  • You'll speak clearly enough to be understood in familiar situations.

How you will learn

You'll learn in a classroom at Lincoln College Campus, attending on a day or block release basis.

Your tutor will use the initial assessment to plan your learning and track your progress across reading, writing, and spoken communication.
