About this course

You'll need to have achieved an Entry Level 3 ESOL Reading qualification, or score at working towards Level 1 in your initial assessment, before you start. The course covers reading letters, newspapers, job adverts, and everyday documents, building the vocabulary you need for work and daily life in the UK. It runs for 72 hours part-time.

Who this course is for

This course is suitable for adults who do not speak English as a first language. It is ideal for a wide range of individuals, such as unemployed learners wanting to improve their language skills, and employed learners with low income looking to improve their skills in the workplace or progress into further education.

Entry requirements

You will need to complete an initial assessment before registration on the course. You must have achieved an Entry Level 3 ESOL Reading qualification (or equivalent), prior to the course or score at working towards Level 1 in your initial assessment.
