Department: ESOL - Northern College

ESOL

Moving to a new country can pose many challenges, among them being the language barrier. Learning a new language is undeniably tough, but it’s a crucial step to increase your chances of securing employment and forging new friendships within your new community.  

We offer several ESOL courses for people whose first language is not English, from those who are total beginners to others who may be a bit more advanced with their English.

This college has helped me so much and given me so much confidence in my courses and in myself. Beautiful place to learn, make good friends. They are like a family and all help each other.  

Staying residential was the perfect way for me to learn. As well as the course subject, which everyone is involved in, learning extends beyond the class room.
