Moving to a new country can pose many challenges, among them being the language barrier. Learning a new language is undeniably tough, but it’s a crucial step to increase your chances of securing employment and forging new friendships within your new community.
We offer several ESOL courses for people whose first language is not English, from those who are total beginners to others who may be a bit more advanced with their English.

Was an amazing experience. The staff were all friendly and approachable. Thank you Northern College for making me feel welcome.
It changed my life. It enabled me to learn while being surrounded by other students and of course the great staff.
It's a life changing place. I started the access course in 2013 without a qualification to my name and not much hope. Last year I started my PhD. I'm now a different person.
