Thinking about where to study |
In deciding where to study you might want to think about some of these issues:
s What
ESOL level do you need? – Most community classes are at Access 2 Literacies, Access
2 or Access 3.
s How
far is the ESOL provider location from your home? – You need to think about
how long it will take to travel there, if it is on a bus/train route
from your house and how much the travel will cost. If your course is provided by a college, you may be able to
apply for travel expenses.
s How
many hours do you want to study? – Most community ESOL courses are one or two classes
per week. If you want more hours (up to full-time), you will need
to go to a college main campus.
s Do
you want a crèche supplied by the ESOL provider so you can take your
child to class? – Some classes might have a a crèche on site. Other classes might provide money from to pay for a nursery
place. Ask the ESOL provider or your teacher what is available.
s Do
you want an ESOL qualification? - If your course is run by in a college main campus,
it will probably have an ESOL qualification. Some community classes
do not provide
s Do
you want your class to be small or large, mixed or single sex? - Most community classes have around 12 students
- most college main campus classes have around 20. Many community classes are also single sex
(e.g. women only), all college main campus classes are mixed.

Many
ESOL students study in both community and college main campus
venues. Sometimes learners start their ESOL studies
in a community centre and then move to a college main campus
as their English progresses to a higher level.
If you are studying ESOL in a community venue and want
to move to a college main campus class, ask your community
ESOL teacher if there is a link between your class and a college
main campus. Colleges run many community classes so there might be a formal
progression route from your class to a main college class. |
