English & Languages
English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL)
“NESCol is a huge family and everyone is there to help you – there’s a solution to any problem and answers to all of your questions. When I started I thought it would be simple because I knew some English and speak Latvian, Russian as well as German in the past – but it wasn’t easy! ESOL gave me self-confidence because I could express my thoughts more clearly. It was a great start and gave me a push to go on and study further and go on to university and follow my passion for law, which I hadn’t planned when I started at College.”
