Do you want to improve your English language? ICN provides English classes for refugees and asylum seekers.
English classes are sometimes called ‘ESOL’. This means ‘English for Speakers of Other Languages’.
Improving your English will help you to access work and communicate with people in your community.
ICN runs ESOL courses from Pre-entry to Level 1. We focus on reading, writing, speaking and listening skills.
How to register for a class:
As well as English classes, we have ‘Conversation Cafe’ groups to practise speaking English and meet other people.
Women only English classes with creche:
ICN have English classes for mums with children 0-4 years old. These classes have a creche for the children to play in, whilst mums can learn English in another room. We have a team of creche workers who are DBS checked and have experience working with children.
All our teachers are qualified in teaching English.
