ESOL Foundation Programme (16-18)

ESOL Foundation Programme (16-18)

This is a full-time programme, which aims to develop your English skills for everyday use. Language is the main part of the course, but you will also study Maths and ICT to help develop your wider skills and enrich your knowledge with photography, music and arts activities.

This ‘Living and Working in the UK’ qualification will support you in both work and your personal life, enabling you to become a more active participant in society. Depending on your level, you will study between 13 and 16 hours per week at college.

This programme has been developed primarily for people who are relatively new to the UK and learning English as an additional language. The additional ‘Progression’ qualifications we offer will give you the opportunity to develop a wider range of life and vocational skills.
