Our ESOL courses offered start at pre-entry up to level 2 and we also offer a community interpreting course. Our experienced staff will support you to improve your English and gain a nationally recognised qualification. Students also learn how to access travel, housing, healthcare and the job market alongside tours of our city region. All classes are held on-campus at Conway Park and are face to face. The ESOL department organises a varied social programme which you can take part in. It includes visits to the theatre, museums and visits to interesting places locally.
