Is this course for me

This course is for ESOL learners who would like to improve their reading and writing skills. You may have already gained a qualification at entry two or above and would like to boost your literacy skills before working towards the reading and writing qualification at the next level.

Please bring a pen, notebook and an A4 folder to each lesson.
If you are studying online, you will need secure internet connection, a laptop, tablet or PC. We do not recommend using a phone to attend online due to limited functionality.

You can progress to an ESOL qualification in speaking & listening, reading or writing or a course in maths and IT. There is a wide range of other courses available with Kent Adult Education or other providers to support further study or employment.
Talk to your tutor about next steps. The National Careers Service may attend your course to advise about further study or employment opportunities.

This course is scheduled to not be running on the following dates:

  • Thursday, 29 October 2026

From 1st August 2024, the Department for Education (DfE) require that learners attending this course must identify their primary purpose for learning. This course is not available for learners whose main aim is to learn a hobby, or for leisure/pleasure.

Assessment is needed before joining this course. Please contact your local centre to complete an application.

As part of your funding agreement, you must attend at least 85% of your lessons, complete any required self study and all necessary qualifications you are enrolled on. You may be withdrawn if you do not attend regularly. If you have a pre arranged commitment booked during term time, please contact your tutor to catch up on any missed work.
