26 *Courses FREE to eligible students English, Maths and ESOL (EME) with the WEA

Our English and maths courses are designed to enable people to develop their ‘functional’ English and maths skills. This means that, as well as developing and improving their confidence by learning new skills and techniques, people will be able to use their skills to cope with everyday tasks such as letters to/from schools, working out prices in shops to get the best deals, understanding bank statements and payment methods etc. WEA ESOL courses aim to improve and develop the language skills of students who do not have English as their first language so that they can play a full and active role in life and work. Our English, maths and ESOL courses include accredited and non-accredited courses depending on whether students want to gain a qualification, or simply want to practise and develop their skills and confidence. We also offer ESOL and Citizenship courses that include a speaking and listening qualification at E3 level and preparation for the Life in the UK test. Initial Assessment Prior to joining an EME or an accredited learning programme, students are invited to attend an initial assessment session to ensure they are enrolled on the right course. How much do EME courses cost? English and Maths courses are free to all students who meet SFA (Skills Funding Agency) eligibility (i.e. over 19 years and resident in EU or UK in last 3 years). This does not apply to students from Scotland or Wales. ESOL courses cost £1.65 per hour but may be free to students in receipt of means tested benefits.
