This intensive 6 week course is designed for learners who have previously achieved a grade 3 in GCSE English Language and are aiming to improve their grade.
This course is free if you do not already have a GCSE English Language grade 4 (C) or above.
The course focuses on developing key skills in reading, writing, speaking and listening as well as exam techniques.
You will have a grade 3 in English Language and will be given an initial assessment to check your starting point.
As this is an intensive course, your attendance for 6 hours each week over two days is mandatory and you must complete additional work outside of class time.
Assessment of your progress is throughout the course. However, you will be assessed by two externally marked exams in November. It’s important to note that these dates are fixed and set nationally, so they cannot be changed.
A GCSE in English is demanded by many employers and can improve your employability prospects, university opportunities and life in general.
If you are 19 years old or over you may need to pay fees for your Further Education studies.
Course fees depend on your age and course level.
You may be exempt from paying fees though, or eligible to pay a reduced fee – known as fee remission.
