What the college says

This ESOL course is for those aged 16-18 who do not have English as a first language and who wish to improve their English language skills in order to progress to other courses, training or employment. This study programme is offered at five different levels, from entry-level 1 to level 2 and after an initial assessment in English and maths, students are allocated a course at the appropriate level.

What you need to get on

There are no formal entry requirements. Your level of English will be assessed through a variety of reading, writing, speaking and ability tasks and your maths level will be assessed by completing an online maths initial assessment programme. Based on the results of these assessment tasks, you will be enrolled onto an entry 1, entry 2, entry 3, level 1 or a level 2 course. It is possible for you to move to the next level during the academic year.

How you are assessed

Entry level and Level 1 study, English and maths retakes, and supported programmes.

What this level means

The GCSE-equivalent step, and the usual route into Level 3.

Is it open to 16 to 18 year olds?
