English Language Courses

If you have registered to study on another full-time programme in the College, we will assess your ability in the use of English. You can then also attend a part-time English Language course, free of charge, whilst you are studying on your full-time course.

You will be interviewed individually to assess your ability in the use of English Language. This is to ensure that we place you on the right programme at the appropriate level of the English provision.

Overseas students studying English

We can also help by providing you with pre-sessional classes - to prepare you for your major course in advance.

In addition, the English Language Centre offers a range of exam courses such as Cambridge or Pitman exams at various levels of General and Business English.

All courses have computer-assisted language learning components and students are encouraged to use computers at the Learning Resources Centres for self-study.

The Centre also provides training and refresher courses for teachers of EFL. These are specialist courses for those who wish to teach English Language anywhere in the world.

The English Language Centre of Wigan and Leigh College is pleased to offer preparatory courses in IELTS for international students. Universities and Colleges will expect different IELTS scores for different courses.

Dedicated staff within the English Language Centre will assess your ability of English Language as soon as possible, and then provide the necessary programme, to prepare you for the test. When they feel that you are ready to take the test, they will provide you with an application form and further information on the IELTS test, and inform you of the test fee at the time of your application.

The local test centres for Wigan and Leigh College are based at the University of Liverpool and UMIST in Manchester. Tests take place approximately once a month and the results are issued within two weeks of the date of the test.
