Each course offers the opportunity to progress to the next level. It may also be possible to progress on to mainstream college courses, once your English is at the right level.
What can this course lead to?
Who is it for?
These ESOL courses are for adults aged 19+ who live in the UK permanently, and who want to take a short, intensive course to improve their English by accessing our online learning platform from home.
You can complete your lessons at home, at any time during the week that is good for you, and get live 1–1 online support from a tutor for feedback. Courses are available at Level 1 – Level 2.
What is covered?
The course covers a wide range of General English topics, from personal and social development, to employment, the environment and culture.
Depending on your course, you will also have exam preparation lessons to practise listening, speaking, reading and writing skills. Grammar and vocabulary are developed in all lessons.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
You will have an interview to check your level and/or show any English language qualifications you already have, before you start.
You will need access to a laptop or PC with a camera and microphone (the College can help with this). You will need to commit to an intensive period of study, as there is a lot of work to cover in each week of the course.
This course will be fully online.
You will take a test before starting, to check your language level, and then at regular times in the course to show progress. At the end of the course you will take a nationally recognised exam.
Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Residents:
This course will likely be free of charge for you. We will still need to carry out checks to ensure you meet all criteria before you enrol and you must also commit to the hours and agree to come to the exam as part of your agreement with the college.
Residents from other areas:
As you live in outside of the Peterborough area, there may be a fee to pay for this course, depending on your financial circumstances and your postcode. The college will contact you to assess this. Please complete any documentation you receive promptly to ensure we can give you accurate information before enrolment.
