Joining a 16-18 Study Programme will help you improve your English
and Maths, get UK qualifications, and give you the support you
need to successfully progress into higher level study and work. This
programme is suitable for 16-18 year old non-native speakers of
English who have just arrived in the UK, and for 16+ learners who
have attended school here and need further specialised English
support to help them succeed in the UK.
You can join a 16—18 Study Programme at Ealing Green,
Hammersmith & Fulham and Southall Community Colleges. The
programme is full-time, with lessons 3 days a week, and access to
the Learning Centre, Gym and clubs the rest of the week. The course
focuses on English Speaking and Listening, Reading, Writing, Maths
up to GCSE, and other subjects such as IT, Science, Tutorial and
Enrichment. There are workshops and trips throughout the year to
make the learning rich and interesting. You will have a dedicated
tutor who will guide you and help you achieve your goals. At Entry
3, the programme includes tasters in a range of different subjects
to help you progress onto other college courses and into the
workplace.
LEVELS
We have programmes suitable for all levels, from Pre-Entry to Level 2.
From Pre-Entry to Level 2, learners build their confidence in
communicating in English and Maths, and get an introduction to
education, work and life in the UK.
At Entry 3, the course includes tasters, in areas such as: Business,
Service Industries, Multi-skills and Community Services, to
supplement the English and Maths learning. These tasters will
help learners decide which area they would like to specialise in the
following year, and will provide personal, social and employability
skills and experiences which will enrich students’ CVs.
At Level 1 and Level 2, learners can choose an academic route,
focusing on developing their Pre-GCSE academic speaking, listening,
