At Liverpool Adult Learning, we deliver accessible, high quality, ESOL courses for adults over 19 years old, many of which are free of charge. You will need to complete a skills check before you join.
Our functional skills courses include qualifications and are about using literacy skills in everyday life and work. You will be entered for a qualification at the correct level – up to Level 2 – and these qualifications may prepare you to take a GCSE course next. (Higher than Level 2 Functional Skills, this qualification is for more advanced learners. You must pass the skills check to join this course. We can offer you other courses if you are not ready for GCSE.)
