ABOUT THE COURSE

ESOL stands for English for Speakers of Other Languages. Entry Level ESOL courses are for people who speak English as a second or other language, and who are resident or permanently settled in the UK.

These courses will help you to increase your independence, as well as develop the language skills you need for everyday life, employment and further study.

They take you through Pre-Entry, Entry Level 1 (Beginner), Entry Level 2, and Entry Level 3, Level 1 and Level 2 ESOL.

Classes run in the mornings (Camden Road and Finsbury Park), afternoons (Camden Road and Finsbury Park) and evenings (Finsbury Park ONLY).

There are lots of different course options to meet your needs. You can start courses at different times in the year. You can join at various points between September and early March if there are places available.
