A pre-entry course for first time ESOL learners.
If you or someone you know is a complete beginner and new to learning English in the classroom, we have special 12-week beginner courses, especially for Pre-Entry learners. Classes will include opportunities to practice language in real-life situations with a tutor there to help. There is no exam and you will be learning with people at the same level as yourself. When you finish the 12-week course you will be able to continue with your learning if you wish in one of our other ESOL classes.
There are no formal entry requirements but we will need to check that you are eligible for our ESOL courses. To do this we need to see some ID.

We will also need proof of household income (payslips and/or income-based benefit documents - not child tax credit or child benefit).
You will work towards an ESOL Skills for Life qualification from City & Guilds or Ascentis qualification at Entry Level or at Level 1 or 2.
There are 5 levels of ESOL for Life exams. The easiest is Entry Level 1, which is aimed at people at beginner level. The hardest is Level 2.
