The lessons start the week beginning 3rd September and are between 13 and 18 weeks long depending on the level and the course.
We have new courses starting in January.
When you first come to the College, you will have an interview and a short test to check your level of English and to discuss which course is the best for you.
The courses run in the day and in the evening and the levels range from Pre-entry (Absolute beginners) to Level 2 (Advanced). All courses have a qualification attached.
Most students work towards achieving the nationally recognized Cambridge ESOL Skills for Life Qualification. Some students work towards achieving an Agored Cymru Certificate which is achieved by completing tasks in class.
