English and maths

Improving your English and maths skills can help you gain confidence, find a new job, get promotion at work or help your children with their school work.

We offer courses in English, maths and English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) from Pre-entry to Level 2.

We have daytime and evening classes in local venues across Buckinghamshire. Our classes are small and friendly and all our tutors are qualified to work with adult students. You can join most classes at any time throughout the year and work towards a nationally recognised qualification.

English and maths courses below GCSE level are free for most people, depending on UK residency. There is usually a fee for GCSE and ESOL courses, however you may be entitled to help with course fees if you receive certain means-tested benefits. In ESOL classes you will learn some of the vital elements to count towards your citizenship award.

We ask all our learners to have an informal assessment before starting a course. This helps us to make sure that the course is right for you. Please call us on 0845 0454040 to arrange an appointment.

We also offer a range of subjects for learners with learning difficulties and/or a disability.

New for 2009-10

• Fast track courses for English and maths national tests - if you want a qualification in a hurry, you will be able to study for and take your qualification within a four week time frame.

• Twilight courses for ESOL learners - due to increasing demand these new classes will run at our centres between 3.30pm and 5.30pm.

• Intensive courses - progress through your qualification more quickly by enrolling on an intensive ESOL course which involves up to 10 hours study a week.
