ESOL
Our ESOL training course prepares students to pass the examination at A1, A2 and B1 levels. An experienced teacher assesses all students at the time of enrolment. The courses are for students who have a standard of English below Entry 3. If you are not sure what your level of English is, we will arrange a free diagnostic assessment for you.
