English - ESOL

Develop your spoken, written, reading and listening skills with our ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) courses. Available at all levels. 


ESOL courses help you to improve your English in the context of everyday life, so you can successfully seek work, progress to further study and play your part in the community. 

With ESOL courses at Richmond upon Thames College you can:

  • Start your course at a level which suits your current English skills. Learn language skills, numeracy and IT
  • Learn from our qualified and supportive staff who will help you to make the most of your studies
  • As you progress, you can choose to study Engineering, Business or Childcare
  • Join in a range of enrichment and extracurricular activities to help you build your language skills.

Our ESOL courses provide students with essential English skills and are suitable for those who have come to live in the UK permanently. We offer courses to adults and 16-18s (free), from Entry 1 to Level 2. 

If you earn below the annual London Living Wage your tuition will be free even if you are over 18.
