English for Speakers of other Languages (ESOL) - Level 1 Bridging Course

The ESOL Level 1 Bridging Course is a supportive ESOL course designed to help you practise and improve your speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills as you work towards developing your skills to Level 1.

This ESOL course is ideal if you are not yet ready to start an accredited Level 1 ESOL course but want to build the skills and confidence to get there. This ESOL class provides a relaxed and supportive learning environment where you can develop your English at your own pace.

On this ESOL course, you will have time to practice all your skills, improve your accuracy, and fill any gaps in your knowledge, helping you strengthen your foundation in English. By the end of the course, you will feel more confident, capable, and prepared to progress successfully onto an accredited ESOL course.

2. Develop your skills to manage real-life situations where you need to give information and express your ideas and opinions.

In the ESOL class, you will improve your listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills, while also building your independent study skills and communication confidence to support your progression to Level 1.
