English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL)

English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) classes are for people who do not speak English as their first language. ESOL classes are designed to help learners improve their ability to speak, listen, read and write in English and settle in the community. Our courses are carefully designed to take into consideration your individual learning needs, educational and employment aspirations.
