About the course:
The Ascentis ESOL Skills for Life qualifications are based on the National Standards for Adult Literacy and are closely related to the ESOL Core Curriculum. They are designed specifically for people living in Britain and focus on preparing you, the learner, for the world of work or citizenship.
The primary aim of the Ascentis ESOL Skills for Life qualifications is to assist you to become independent of others (such as interpreters or translators; be they professionals, family or friends) when interacting with native English-speakers, both in a work environment and elsewhere. By improving your communication and fluency in English, you will significantly improve your employability skills. This class allows you to improve your skills and knowledge with expert support and guidance from one of our highly skilled ESOL
How will the course be delivered?
You will receive regular written and verbal feedback from the tutor to support your learning journey and work with your tutor to develop an individual progress record.

Formal assessments on each unit of study are provided by the awarding body; these are then scheduled according to need. They are marked by the tutor and graded pass or fail. The results are then verified by an internal quality assurer and an external verifier.
