ESOL is a language course that supports speakers of other languages to learn the basics of speaking, listening, reading, and writing in English. Studying ESOL can help individuals settle into life in the UK, looking for employment and improve communication with doctors, teachers, and other people that students may meet through their daily routine.  

Courses are offered to students in a variety of ways so that they can pick a learning method which suits them, and their lifestyle best. This could be from full-time to part-time study, online to evening classes or even summer programmes.   

In addition to this, ESOL providers have also supported learners with transportation, childcare, counselling, and mental health support. This provision can be essential to helping refugees resettle in the region. 

ESOL is fully funded for individuals aged 19 and over, with programmes of study including numeracy, Essential Digital Skills, employability, and vocational studies, careers, enrichment (such as Life in the UK) and tutorials.
