To be eligible to enrol and attend our courses you must have lawful permission to reside in the UK and be ordinarily resident in the UK at the course start date.

Dependent on your individual circumstances, you may be required to show evidence of your residency status before you can enrol and attend courses with us.

Before enrolling on an English course you will need to create a learner account online, complete your residency eligibility check and then book an initial assessment to determine the best level. This course is for KAE learners who have successfully enrolled on GCSE English language starting in September 26. Learners who want to do GCSE English with us should attend this short, online, taster course on Saturday 29/08/26 in order to prepare for the longer qualification. The tutor will cover some key dates and induction information as well as some practical work and preparation for the GCSE content.
