Course Overview

English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) courses are language programmes for people living within the UK who need to develop their English language skills for work, further learning and everyday life.

Students work towards a City & Guilds ESOL Skills for Life qualification which are ideal for anyone living in the UK who need to improve their understanding and use of written or spoken English. This qualification could help you get a job, a promotion at work, prepare for future study or be able to interact confidently in an English-speaking environment.

The revised ESOL Skills for Life qualifications cover 5 levels –

Beginner, Elementary, Pre-intermediate, Intermediate and Upper-intermediate (Entry 1 to Level 2).

 
 

Ideal If:
 English is not your first language and you wish to learn or improve your English.  

You'll Learn:
 To communicate  in English, from basic greetings at beginner level, to sophisticated and fluent language at advanced level.

You'll Love:
Learning and improving your Speaking, Reading, Listening and Writing skills and your knowledge and understanding of the English Language. Classes are taught in a friendly environment using colourful and relevant resources.

You'll Progress:
We offer various levels of ESOL courses from Beginner levels to more Advanced courses so, following assessment, you will be allocated a class.  Once completed, students can progress to the next level.

You'll Need:

You will need to purchase a course book and in some cases CDs or a Book and CD pack.  Course books vary from course to course and you will be informed of the course book titles at the start of the course.  If the course is a follow up from a previous course, you could be using the same course book as in the previous course. 

 

Terms & Conditions

Students will be required to comply with SERC's Terms & Conditions of study.

We strive to ensure the description of courses on SERC's website and in publications is accurate. However, for various reasons there may be occasions when the College may need to change arrangements or be unable to deliver classes due to circumstances such as reduced funding. If there are insufficient numbers applying for a course it may not be viable to deliver the class.
