About this course

Entry Level English (Stepping Stones to Functional Skills) Course in Bath. Classes run at Twerton Learning Centre. The course runs part-time during the day, making it manageable alongside other commitments. You'll build your English skills step by step, working toward the Entry Level 2 standard. It covers reading, writing, speaking, and listening at a pace that lets you develop steadily. The course typically takes one year part-time. You'll sit an initial assessment so the centre can confirm the right level for you and plan your learning.
