Whatever your previous experience of English, we will support you to develop your knowledge and ability, providing you with transferrable skills which will help you at home and at work.
To achieve the qualification, you need to sit and pass exams. The exams can be taken at different points in the year and you can re-sit up to a maximum of 3 times in an academic year.
