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.

Fabulous college. Very professional staff. Spectacular residential accommodation. I feel very safe there.
This sector employs over 35,000 people, in-demand skills and qualities that employers are looking for include problem solving, communication skills and creativity.
Staying residential at Northern College gave me time to breathe. Most of the learning would come about when talking with others, over meals and our free time. Walking in the garden before breakfast is inspirational.
