Our ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) courses provide an opportunity to improve your English reading, writing and speaking skills and work towards a City and Guilds qualification up to Level 2. They are for adults aged 19+ who have English as an additional language. Our Autumn 2025 courses will be launched later this year. In the meantime, if you register your interest a member of our team will get in touch to discuss courses with you.
If you are not a native English speaker, our ESOL courses, are especially for adults who have English as an additional language.
If you haven't attended one of our ESOL courses already, before you join a course you will be asked to undertake a short skills assessment to help us advise you on an appropriate course.
Each course runs for about 12 weeks in the Autumn, Spring and Summer terms each year. Courses are available at a range of skill levels and at community venues across Telford and Wrekin.
If we cannot offer you a place on your preferred course, we may be able to offer a course at another of our community venues in Telford.
Learners must be aged 19 or over from 1st August 2025 to be eligible to enrol on courses during 2025-26. You may also need to fulfil a UK residency eligibility and this will be checked when you attend one of our information sessions.
Unfortunately, you will not be eligible to enrol on this course if you live in Wolverhampton, Walsall, Sandwell, Dudley, Solihull or Birmingham.

At the end of the course, the tutor will help and advise you on your next steps into further learning or work opportunities.
Learners who want to progress in their studies can work through the levels up to ESOL Skills for Life Level 2.
You can also search for other courses on the Learn Telford website, which we regularly update with details of new courses throughout the year. We offer a wide range of short taster courses you can try in community centres around Telford and, when you feel ready to take your learning further, we can offer you an opportunity to join an accredited course and help you gain a qualification.
