What is ESOL?

English taught to people whose first language is not English, but who live in an English-speaking country and need English to communicate in daily life.

You might also see it written like this:

ESOL - English for Speakers of Other Languages

ESL - English as a Second Language

EFL - English as a Foreign Language

It can be very difficult finding an ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) course in Liverpool that you can start very quickly (without having to pay very high course fees). At KCLC we can offer you a solution that can have you enrolled and learning very quickly.

We run two types of ESOL courses here at KCLC. Our accredited courses are delivered by a partner organisation (WEA) and lead to nationally recognised qualifications at five levels (Entry Levels 1, 2 and 3, Level 1 and Level 2). In addition, we also deliver non-accredited courses that address all aspects of the English language (Speaking, Listening, Reading & Writing) – but there are no tests or exams on these courses. We can offer quick starts on these courses (often within 2 weeks).

The courses are very popular and fill up very quickly – so to reserve a place please call into the centre to enrol or complete the online registration and assessment.

New online application and assessment!

In the current circumstances we have all had to make changes. To reduce the time spent in the centre and to allow people to register for our ESOL courses online in the safety of their own homes KCLC have developed a new online registration and assessment!

How it works

When you click on the Register now button you will be taken to an online ESOL application form that will ask for your information. The information asked is so we can offer you your course and so that we can check to see if you are eligible for any funding (if available). You can ask for help with this section of the form/use translate if needed.

You will then be taken to the ESOL assessment - please do not get any help from friends/family/google for this, as we want to know YOUR level.

You will then receive an email to invite you into the centre to complete your assessment and have a chat about the English classes we have available for you.

Using the online ESOL application is free does not commit you to signing up for a course. You can decide what courses you want to join when you come in for your appointment.

Non-Accredited ESOL Courses

KCLC run non accredited ESOL courses. There are no certificates awarded from these courses but learners are able to engage quickly on them (often within 2 weeks) and engagement on these courses hastens progress into accredited courses.

These non-accredited courses are ideal for students that have been unable to secure places on accredited courses. They are also useful for students studying accredited courses as they provide a extra tuition and improve students' chances of passing their accredited exams.

Our internal ESOL courses are available at all levels from pre-entry up to level 2 and are delivered in short blocks of 5 or 10 weeks. All courses cover speaking, listening, reading and writing.

A nominal fee applies. Please contact the centre for full details.
