Adult English courses

At AFCL we offer English courses that help Adults improve their skills for everyday life and gain qualifications too.

The ability to communicate effectively, in a form that is appropriate, is an essential part of living an independent fulfilling life. Confidence in these skills allows us to support our loved ones, access facilities and progress in learning and life.

Many people leave compulsory education without gaining the skills required to progress into fulfilling work and without qualifications to evidence the skills they already have.
