English Confidence for Life and Work (Daytime)

During this supportive English course, you’ll begin to build confidence in essential literacy skills that are useful in everyday life and the modern world. You’ll explore reading through simple sentences and short pieces of text on a simple subject, and learn how to apply these skills in practical, real-life situations.

Your teacher will guide you throughout your literacy journey, helping you to develop a positive mindset and belief in your ability to improve. Through engaging and interactive activities, both in and outside the classroom, you’ll discover that reading and writing can be both enjoyable and achievable.

To make the most of your learning, you’ll be encouraged to practise regularly at home and apply your new skills in everyday situations with family and friends. With the right support and mindset, everyone can grow their confidence in English.

There are no entry requirement, our English Confidence for Life and Work course is designed for those who find reading and writing challenging and want to build their confidence in a supportive environment. 

There are no formal assessments, just the joy of reading and writing. However, we will need to check you are making progress through a variety of practical, written and speaking activities. You will need to record your progress on an individual learning plan which will follow your journey with English and your teacher will provide you with regular feedback.
