It’s always great to spill the gossip on a new course; in fact, it’s one of our favourite things to do, so here goes…

Last week we released a course perfect for those looking to develop and enhance their English skills. English Skills (Basic) covers all the important stuff: spelling, grammar and punctuation, reading, writing, speaking, and receiving and responding to information.

Learners will study six units over the course of twelve months and will gain an understanding of how the English language is structured, as well as developing their language foundations.

With no previous knowledge necessary it’s the perfect course for beginners and is welcoming to all, regardless of your previous understanding. If you find that you struggle with the course itself or merely with the commitment of learning at home, you’ll have access to your own tutor support for a twelve month period.

What’s even better is the fact that there’s no need to commit before knowing for sure that this course is for you. Take our diagnostic test to find out your level of English and whether this course is the one you’re looking for. Once submitted we’ll evaluate your answers and let you know whether your level of English is basic (in which case you’re perfect for this course), intermediate or advanced.

If it’s one of the latter two then don’t be dismayed because we’ll be adding the English Skills (Intermediate) and English Skills (Advanced), to go with our Mathematical Skills courses, in due course.

On completion of this course you’ll be awarded with a Certificate of Achievement from the awarding body ABC Awards, which may then be used as evidence towards a regulated qualification in the future.
