English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) Improving your English can help you get more out of your life in the UK. If English is not your main language, you can do a course to help you improve your English. Please call us on (01386) 712601 for the Evesham Campus or (01684) 565351 for the Malvern Campus. (See page 26 for course details.)

Meet ESOL student Andreea Anca Oprea “When I first came to the UK I couldn’t speak much English. I worked on a farm and didn’t have much opportunity to improve my English.

Level 2. I finished the course and now I am progressing to Hairdressing Level 3. In the future I would like to open my own business.

I enrolled on an ESOL course because of my daughter. I wanted to speak proper English. I enjoyed the classes and met many friendly people. I found out about other courses offered in the College. I wanted to do something that would give me the opportunity to start a new career.

I would never be able to start Hairdressing if it wasn’t for my ESOL course. It helped me to improve my English and motivated me to do a different course. I was worried because I didn’t know if I would cope with the course but my teachers on both courses were very supportive. My confidence improved and I know that I can do more for my future.”

After completing the ESOL course I decided to start Hairdressing
