English GCSE Adult Evening

This is an adult evening course; you must be 19 before the 31st August in the year you apply. You cannot have previously achieved an A* – C grade (or grade 4 or above) in GCSE English Language; please check your eligibility before applying.

You should be confident with your reading and writing skills and ideally have achieved a Grade D (3) or Functional Skills English qualification at Level 2. The main entry requirement for the course is the successful completion of a pre-entry assessment (duration 1 hour) which will test whether you have the appropriate English skills and potential to be successful on the course. The pre-entry assessments will begin during the summer term and continue during part-time enrolment in August (dates to be confirmed). You will need to book an assessment during the part-time enrolment period (20th August to the 29th September) by calling the customer services team at Leicester College.

You must be able to attend every session of the course throughout the year, as well as completing at least three hours of independent study every week to give yourself the best chance of success.
