Introduction
This is a pre-intermediate
course designed to improve
your reading and writing
skills as well as develop
your listening and speaking
skills. The aim is to help
you understand the English
language
required
to
further a career in a
specialised subject or gain
employment. All of the
courses will start on 02
September 2013 and end
on the 14 June 2014.
Entry Requirements
The entry requirement will
depend on your level of
English. At the interview
you were asked to sit the
Cambridge Quick Placement
Test (QPT) and complete an
English Language writing
assessment so that we can
help determine the correct
level for you.
At pre-intermediate level
you will be expected to
have a basic level of English
with a minimum of 35
points on the Cambridge
QPT or completed an SQA
Access 2 course at Beginner
level. The table below has
additional
information
regarding levels across most
qualification frameworks.
Duration of Course and
Location
The course lasts for one
academic year on a full-time
basis and runs from
September to June. Bursary
funding is available for
eligible applicants who have
come to the UK to work and
are presently working. If
you want full time funding
you must be classes as a
‘migrant
worker’,
this
means you have a job here
and you must continue to
work for the duration of
your studies. To prove you
are working you would
need to apply and have
status under the Workers
Registration Scheme and
evidence from an employer
and a National Insurance
Number. If you were to
apply as a ‘non-migrant
worker’ your ‘European’
status would allow you to
apply for a bursary that
would cover course costs
only.
You will be
timetabled for an average
of 18 hours per week over
36 weeks. Regulations for
2011 have changed for
students progressing into
mainstream
courses.
Please see Audrey Smith as
this may affect your
bursary.
Career Opportunities

pre-intermediate course at
Intermediate 1 level you

ESOL on the Intermediate 2

your subject area.
The

future study at FE or
University.
