Learn English In the West of England is an online directory that helps people find ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) courses across Bristol and South Gloucestershire. The website is managed by Bristol Refugee Rights and supported by Bristol City Council.
The service acts as a central hub, connecting people who want to improve their English with local course providers. You can search by area to find classes near you, whether that’s in Bristol or South Gloucestershire. The directory lists colleges, community centres, and charities that run ESOL courses, making it easier to compare options and find the right level for your needs.
The website also provides guidance on different qualifications available, information about online learning options, and details about free courses for jobseekers. It covers practical matters like checking passport validity for UK entry and explains which courses might be free depending on your circumstances, such as if you’re receiving benefits or are a refugee or asylum seeker.
