ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) can help you improve your language skills if English is not your first language and you are living or planning to settle in the UK. The course is offered from Pre-Entry level (Beginners) to Level 2 (Advanced).

ESOL courses at South Thames College offer you:

  • Experienced and well-qualified teachers
  • Nationally recognised qualifications: ESOL Skills for Life, Functional Skills ICT, British Values
  • Excellent achievement rates
  • Friendly learning environment
  • Free maths course (optional)

  • Entry Requirements


    This course requires a high level of commitment, so attendance to all classes is mandatory. We run a blended delivery approach so there may be an element of remote learning as appropriate.

    You must have a valid visa to cover the entire length of your course.

    If you have studied ESOL before, please bring along any previous ESOL certificates you may have.

    You will need to take an assessment with one of our tutors. This test will help us assess your skills and we will recommend the best course for your individual circumstances.
