English courses in Bath for adults

General English Language Courses

Whatever your level of English, our General English courses will help you gain confidence and ability as an English speaker. You’ll improve your skills in conversation, listening, writing, reading and grammar. Whilst working interactively you will have plenty of opportunity to practise the skills you are learning.

There are a number of options for studying General English, with both group and individual tuition.

We run the General English 20 and General English 30 classes when there are enough students at the appropriate level to form a group. If there is not a suitable group class available at the time you would like to study, we will tell you when you apply for the course and will offer an alternative. Fees for alternative classes may be different from the group course fee.

Tests for UK Visas, British Citizenship and Leave to Remain

Our English courses can help you prepare for living, working and studying in the UK. We can help you improve your English for the language test required by UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI).

The afternoon lessons will develop the academic skills required for the exam, and give you the opportunity to prepare for the IELTS exam with mock tests.
