English and Maths

We offer a range of courses which lead to a City & Guilds qualification in English or Maths at a level appropriate for you. Choose from a taught course where you will learn in a small informal group, or our flexible test practice sessions where you can work independently with tutor support as required. Whatever course you decide to join, you will receive friendly support and specialist knowledge from our qualified and experienced team of tutors.

These courses are not suitable if you already have GCSE English and Maths at grade C or above.
