The English Language Centre

Improve your English Language skills in a quality modern environment.

Coming to England to learn English will be an enjoyable and memorable experience - and our English Language Centre will help make it one, offering high quality training to a mix of nationalities from all over the world.

At Dudley College we offer Cambridge ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages).  This is a part of the University of Cambridge that provides qualifications for learners of English. The exams are well known for their high quality assessment of real English, as used in everyday work, study and leisure situations. People take the exams for many reasons. They can help you to:

• improve your English
• progress onto a course taught in English at university or college
• get a good job
• travel or live abroad

Full time English language courses consist of at least 15 hours of timetabled classes each week, including a tutorial in which you will have regular opportunities to discuss your progress with your Course Tutor. Our teaching staff are always on hand to help you. There are a maximum of 15 students per group and sessions run from Monday to Friday from 9.15am - 4.00pm, with some minor variations.

International students can take part in all College academic and vocational activities and study additional subjects of interest at the same cost as UK students. Students wanting to go to a UK university can prepare for the IELTS exam and sit this at an external Examination Centre.

We have an excellent enrichment programme on Wednesday afternoons that all students are encouraged to participate in.
