The Foundation ESOL Pathway is a year-long programme; however, you will be able to join the course at a later date if there are places available.
You can progress to next level of ESOL and maths or to vocational courses in the college. We can give you advice and information to help you plan your next step, whether you would like to study another course in the college or somewhere else, or are looking to enter employment.

You do not need qualifications to join these pathways. However, you will need a successful interview with a member of the teaching team to show your commitment to full time study and your interest in the subject.
