Looking to improve your skills in reading, writing, speaking and listening?  BMet is here to help you develop your English skills, whether it’s to help find a job or to continue on your path for further learning.  We offer courses in Functional Skills from Entry 1 to Level 2, as well as GCSE.  The course you will be offered will depend on your previous qualifications and an initial assessment.

ESOL (English for speakers of other languages)

If English is not your first language and you want to gain confidence, then this is the course for you.  This course will help you to improve your skills and communication more effectively at home or at work. You will also develop important social and team working skills to help you get a job or continue with your studies.

We offer courses in Speaking and Listening, Reading and Writing from Entry 1 to Level 2, as three separate courses.  The course you will be offered will depend on your previous qualifications and an initial assessment.

There are no more places on ESOL at Matthew Boulton College or Erdington Skills Centre for 23/24 academic year. Applications will open later in the year for September 2024.
