About the course

Our English courses will provide you with the knowledge required to develop your written, reading and spoken communication skills for modern Britain, including writing formal correspondence clearly and concisely. You will gain confidence in writing reports, formal letters, articles and much more. These skills will benefit you in all areas of your life and empower you to be able to progress in your job role, a career change or onto further or higher education. Distance Learning means that you will only have to come to the college to sit your exams, and only when you are ready.' This approach means that you can do your learning at times to suit you and from any location with an internet, computer, and printer. You cannot do the learning on a phone, tablet, or iPad. You will need to be able to attach documents to emails and frequently access your emails to submit work for marking and to respond to requests from your tutor and have good typing skills (for entry level courses, there is less focus on your typing ability). These courses have rolling starts and end dates between August and May. You can start as soon as your initial assessment and diagnostics have been completed and funding approved.
