ESOL English qualifications

In partnership with Ripe Enterprises we are now able to offer certified ESOL English for Speakers of Other Languages and functional skills courses.

The ESOL qualifications are for candidates whose first language is not English and they assess the four skills of Speaking, Writing, Listening and Reading. The topics and tasks covered are relevant to learners and are related to everyday work, study, community and social situations.

For more information about the courses and how to enrol, please come along to a drop-in advice session and an adviser will help you with the enrolment process.
