Adults - Qualification courses
ENGLISH, MATHS & ESOL
There are over 40,000 adults in Bradford who do not have basic qualifications, which is higher than the national average, and so our Functional Skills, GCSE and ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) courses provide key employability skills to help ensure more or our local population can access meaningful work and enjoy social mobility.
Our friendly tutors will work with you at your own pace, to help get you the English, Maths or ESOL qualifications that can grow your confidence, help you get a job, allow you to support your children with homework, or whatever other challenges you want to take on!
Our courses are flexible, with classes running at various times throughout the day at college and in community outreach centres, and for most people they are free!
For any English, Maths or ESOL enquires please contact enrolments@shipley.ac.uk
"MY COURSE HAS BEEN AMAZING BECAUSE OF MY TEACHER, SARAH."
"She has been kind and patient when helping me to learn English. Her teaching is very effective and I have learned a lot of new things. I am now more confident in reading and writing in English. I can hold full conversations in English now because of this course."
