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.

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.

These classes are great for those wishing to gain more computer skills for anything from getting your own email address to internet shopping! One important need for computer skills is for Universal Credit which will be administered online. Everyone on benefits will need to know how to use a computer so we are offering basic classes to help with this. We are now working with Bradford College to deliver these courses which means that we can offer students the chance to gain accredited qualifications.
