Course Description
Do you need to gain your level 2 English
qualification quickly?
This exciting new development allows highly motivated learners who have
studied English in the past, but have not yet achieved a Level 2 qualification,
to achieve their potential in a shorter time frame.
This intensive programme
offers greater flexibility, variety and challenge so that you can quickly move
on to your next steps, whether that is employment, further learning or
higher education.
Entry requirements
You will be required to attend an initial assessment at a
Community Hub to determine your eligibility for the course. Your
English must also be to a standard that will enable you to complete any written
assignments. If you already have a comparable qualification at a higher level
than the result of the initial assessment, you may not be eligible to study the
course.
You must be aged 19+ on 31
August 2021 to join this course.
Content & Overview
The course enables you to
improve your English skills if you do not have a GCSE grade 4 (or A*-C grade).
The units you will cover include:
- • developing reading skills
- • reading to understand and interpret texts
- • responding to creative texts
- • essential writing skills
- • constructing sentences
- • composing texts
- • listening and responding to others
- • participating in discussions
The length of the course is individually determined following an
initial assessment of your skills and abilities at the beginning of the
programme.

and outcome of the initial assessment. You will be expected to submit work to
agreed deadlines.
You will be internally assessed via the completion of
different tutor assessments, learning journals, tutor observations,
