Literacy Theses classes are for people whose first language is English or who are fluent in English.
ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages)
These classes are for speakers of other languages, who wish to learn English for the first time, or improve their English. Classes are at a range of levels from beginners to advanced, and most offer the opportunity to gain a Skills for Life qualification.
Fees All literacy classes are free. ESOL classes will be free to those on benefits. The non-accredited courses in the section Pronunciation and Studies in Language and Culture are not part of the Skills for Life (ESOL) provision, and therefore attract regular fees.
