assess your language level, and will then recommend an
appropriate class for you.

How will a course help me?
Courses will help you to improve your reading, writing,
speaking, listening, vocabulary, grammar, pronounciation
and confidence in using English.
You will have a tutor who you can talk to about your progress
and you will take appropriate examinations at the end of the
course. You will also develop your IT skills and use the
resources in the Learning Resources Centre.
