English courses

Whether you are pursuing a new career, seeking personal growth, or supporting your children’s education, an English qualification can empower you to achieve your goals.

At Adult Learning North Yorkshire, we offer both refresher courses as well as accredited Functional Skills courses (these are the equivalent to a GCSE). Our Functional Skills courses start with a five-week introduction to allow you time to settle in and complete an assessment to ensure you are on the right level of course for your needs. Our courses are delivered all over the county and at all times of day so you’re guaranteed to find a class that slots into your busy life.

We also offer courses in creative writing, poetry and more.
