GCSE English for Adults
COURSE OVERVIEW
We offer a range of English classes to suit all abilities and aspirations. After you have applied to study with us you will be invited into the college for an assessment and a chat with the English department. This will determine what course and level are best for you and your goals. These courses are designed for native speakers of English but we’re happy to accept students who have English as a second language if they have achieved or are working, at least, at level 1 ESOL.
Pre-GCSE and Functional Skills courses
Are you keen to gain a GCSE in English but think you need a bit more time to prepare? Our Pre-GCSE and Functional Skills courses could be the right level for you. These courses will give you the time and skills you need to be successful on the GCSE qualification in the future
GCSE English
This course is a key qualification which is asked for as an entry requirement for many courses and jobs. GCSE English aims to develop your oral communication, language, reading, creative writing skills, and text analysis. The team is made up of experienced English teachers and we have consistently achieved very high success rates and student satisfaction. We have classes in the morning, afternoon and evening and all classes last for 3 hours. Exact times of the classes you can choose from will be provided after you have been to the college and completed the assessment.
Brush-up your English
If it has been a long time since you have studied English, or completed an assessment, this short, welcoming course will gently re-introduce you to some of the basics that you may have forgotten or didn’;t understand in the first place. This course will run in the summer term.
Please email adultenglishandmaths@gbmc.ac.uk if you have any questions about any of our English courses.
