Would you like to improve your English? CALAT offers courses in English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL).
These courses are for people who are settled in the UK to gain English language skills and work towards nationally recognised qualifications.
Our qualified teachers will help you with your English for everyday life. You will study in a friendly, safe environment, meet new friends, gain confidence and learn employability skills.
We can help you get the most out of living in the UK. Improving your English can help you continue your studies at college or university, improve your job prospects, or move on to a vocational course.
ESOL classes are free for asylum seekers, learners seeking employment and receiving Universal Credit, Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA), ESA (WRAG) or other means-tested benefits.
