About English for Speakers of Other Languages Courses

Reflecting Leicester�s multiculturalism, we offer one of the widest selections of ESOL courses in the country. We offer support and classes for anyone whose first language is not English, at all three of our campuses and at more than 50 community and business venues across the city.

A recent Ofsted report said that the College�s ESOL department was comprehensive, very effective and met the local needs of one of the most multicultural cities in the country.

You can improve your spoken and written English in friendly, welcoming classes and workshops at a venue near you. You can also learn new vocational skills as you improve your English.
