All ESOL courses are during the day. They are split into three parts throughout the academic year:
- Speaking and Listening (September)
- Reading (January)
- Writing (April)

“When I first came to College, I was paying double for bus tickets, because I thought the driver was asking whether I was single or married! Now, my English is much better and it’s all because of how the tutors work hard with us by showing easier ways for us to understand the language. Now, I’ve finished my ESOL course, I’m doing Painting & Decorating and GCSE English. After I pass that, I want to do Health and Social Care and become a social worker.”
