English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) courses are designed for students who do not speak English as a first language. From Entry Level upwards, we focus on improving your English listening, speaking, reading, writing and grammar with the opportunity to gain a nationally recognised qualification.

Lessons are taught in our Huddersfield Centre and Springfield Sixth Form Centre, where we provide a safe, supporting learning environment. Students will leave with the real-world English skills that are expected from employers and the tools they need to communicate successfully with the wider community.

Studying Entry Level ESOL

Studying at college has helped me meet new people. The tutors are really helpful and thanks to them I have greatly improved my English and Maths skills. I have since gone on to pass all my exams, which is a fantastic achievement for me.
