PRE-EMPLOYMENT COMMUNITY ESOL COURSES
If English is not your first language, we have a huge range of advice, support, training and courses to help you.
The below short courses have been designed to help improve your communication skills, while also building your knowledge in other areas.
We believe education should be accessible. That is why all our ESOL courses are free or heavily discounted.
We have worked with local employers and support services such as Jobcentre Plus, to create these courses to support you into work following completion of your course.
We also offer individual coaching and mentoring when required, to find out about your opportunities available; to support you back into work, book a FREE 1:1 employment support advice session.
