Course Overview

Course Overview

English is spoken and written every day around the world to communicate. If your first language is not English and you want to improve your skills, this course is for you.

Covering the four main skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing, you will gain nationally recognised qualifications in English language, ICT, maths and employability skills.

In addition, you will learn about UK culture and take part in events to celebrate your own. You’ll also take part in fun competitions to develop job interview skills and entrepreneurial skills, and develop the confidence to live, study and work in the UK successfully.

This course is taught at our Rochdale campus, located in the Rochdale Town Centre of Greater Manchester.
