Slough Tuition Centre is offering English language courses which leads to an approved ESOL B1 ‘Skills for Life’ qualification.

We will start with an initial assessment to find out what your current level of English is, this is in order to identify the areas that you need to develop. Once the assessment has taken place we tailor make a study plan that works for you. This combined with our best option pricing strategy means you get the great value for your hard earned money. You will be continually assessed by your teacher throughout the course and provided with up to date progress reports. When you are ready to sit your exam you will be offered the opportunity to do so. Normally 95% of our candidates are ready to sit their ESOL Entry 3/B1 exam after 4/5 days of training. An internationally recognized certificate will be secure for your future in the UK.
