Description
Who is this course for
This course is for anyone who wants to improve their English and does not have a Grade 4/C or above in GCSE.
Entry Requirements
No previous qualifications are required, though a Level 2 Functional Skills English qualification is highly recommended. The course tutor will assess students in the first weeks of the course to ensure it is at the right level for them.
How you will learn
The course will be a mixture of tutor-led activities, individual and group work. There will be homework set every week. You will do a mixture of reading, writing and speaking and listening in the class. Your tutor will give you regular written and verbal feedback during the course and you will sit mock exams in preparation for the GCSE exams. To further support your learning, you will be given access to a student email and a 365 account as well as a login to our online learning platform which will be individually tailored to your needs. You can access these tools at home and use them to reinforce your learning and skills.
What you will need
You will need a file to organise your work, a pen and a large pad of lined A4 paper. If you enrol for an online class you will need access to a laptop/computer and a stable broadband connection. There are some laptops available for students to loan. Ask your local centre for more information.
