Hi,

Is there a list of accredited colleges for ESOL course? I beleive home office does not accept ESOL certificates from any random college it needs to be accredited because there were colleges giving bogus certificates etc?

One of my friend is applying for ILR in few months time and she can not pass life in UK test and wants to try ESOL?

Can some one please help?

Kind Regards

ESOL course in English with citizenship wrote:ESOL courses are available throughout the UK - the Directgov website can help you find a course at the right level in your area.

An 'accredited college' is:
- a publicly funded college that is subject to inspection by Ofsted (if it is in England), the Education and Training Inspectorate (Northern Ireland), HM Inspectorate of Education (Scotland), Estyn (Wales); or an inspection programme that has been approved by the Island's Government (in the Channel Islands or Isle of Man): or
- a private college that has been accredited by Accreditation UK, the British Accreditation Council (BAC), the Accreditation Body for Language Services (ABLS) or the Accreditation Service for International Colleges (ASIC).
