These courses are aimed at adults from diverse backgrounds, including migrants, refugees, and anyone looking to enhance their language abilities for work or everyday life.

The ESOL courses focus on key language skills: speaking, listening, reading, and writing. For example, learners can participate in classes that help them communicate effectively in various situations, such as at work, school, or during social interactions.

In addition to language instruction, the Manchester Adult Education Service provides information about further education, job training, and other community resources. This holistic approach helps learners not only improve their English but also gain confidence and skills for a better future in the UK.

All applications are process through the centralised GM ESOL Service website - https://gmesol.org/take-a-test/. You will then be invited for an initial assessment on site at one of our campuses and placed on the waiting list.
