Free English and maths courses

6 December 2011

Better skills, brighter future

Our free English and maths courses offer you a chance to:

  • improve your skills
  • help you in your work or in getting a job
  • help children with their school work
  • progress onto further training or education courses
  • increase your confidence in everyday maths and English.

All our classes:

  • are small and friendly
  • enable you to work at your own pace
  • are designed to meet your individual needs.

All learners work towards a qualification. Most of our classes can be joined at any time, so you do not need to wait for a start date.
 
Contact your nearest centre to discuss which course is most suitable for you. 

Online courses

We are now offering an online maths and English course. You will need to attend one of our main centres for an induction session and for your test. The rest of the course can be completed from any PC with internet access.
 
For help with finding out your strengths and weaknesses it may help you to visit the Move On website and complete a mini test.  This is a national project aimed at helping adults to brush up their English and maths skills. 

ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages)

There is a charge for these courses however, people in receipt of benefit or on low wages may be able to get help with course fees.  If you join a course after the start date, fees will be reduced according to the number of weeks left to attend. You cannot enrol online for these courses.
 
ESOL is for you if:
  • English is not your first language;
  • you need to learn to speak everyday English;
  • you need to improve your reading and writing;
  • you want to gain an ESOL Cambridge Skills for Life qualification.
There may be spaces available for you to join a course during the year. Call us now to discuss your needs, availability and course fees.
