HIVE Directory: Colleges & Universities

Our ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) qualifications in reading, writing, listening & speaking, support learners from starters to pre-GCSE whose first language is not English, helping them gain the communication skills needed to progress in the workplace, education and beyond. Full-Time and Part-Time courses available.

If English is not your first language then ESOL classes could help you to become better at communicating in English in everyday life.

ESOL classes are available to anyone over the age of 16 who does not have English as a first language. They will help you to improve your Reading, Writing and Speaking and Listening in English.

We are so excited to return to term with a hybrid approach to learning! We are offering face to face and digital courses. We are open to anyone within the PO1 - PO6 postcode area from 18 years plus. Whether you use mental health services in Portsmouth, support someone who does, or you're just looking to gain a better understanding of mental health, Solent Recovery College can help you become an expert in managing mental health and empower you to take control of your recovery journey.
