What do I need to join the course?
Our English courses are specifically designed for adults who do not currently hold a Level 2 qualification in the subject (such as a GCSE grade C / grade 4 or above). However, if you already have a qualification, but lack confidence or feel that you have significant gaps in your skills or knowledge, please get in touch. Whether you are starting from scratch or aiming for a formal certificate to boost your career, we provide a welcoming, flexible and stress-free environment to help you succeed.
What do I need to bring with me to the first session?
You should bring with you evidence of your identity (a passport, driving licence or birth certificate) and any qualification certificates you already have.
What qualifications can I get?
You can work towards nationally recognised Functional Skills qualification in English, which are available at various levels depending on your starting point and progress. These qualifications are widely recognised by employers, training providers and educational institutions across the country. They can not only boost your confidence but also enhance your CV, opening up new opportunities for work, further study and personal development.
We’ll help you to work out which level of English is right for you and we’ll support you to achieve the level that you need to reach your goals. We offer Functional Skills English qualifications at Entry Level 1, 2 and 3 in our ‘Improve Your English’ classes and Level 1 and 2 in our ‘English for Life and Work’ classes, so you’ll always be in a group with others working at a similar level.
