English for Speakers of Other Languages

English for speakers of other languages, from pre-entry to Level 1.

English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) is designed to help people learn or improve their ability to speak or write English. We have a number of different options available depending upon your ability. We are working with Shipley College which allows students to gain accredited qualifications in ESOL.

  • Basic Skills Pre-Entry, Entry Level 1 , 2 and 3 and now Level 1
  • Building Confidence in Speaking English
  • English Workshop

It is really important to attend every class. Please do not make appointments when you have a class. If you prioritise your ESOL classes you will make good progress and then you will be able to communicate more easily, which will help you day to day. We have long waiting lists for classes and therefore if you do not attend, your place will be given to someone else.
