We’re really sorry, but all our 2024-2025 courses are now full.
Our courses are free to people seeking asylum, thanks to funding from Southampton City Council. For other learners, there is a small contribution fee to be paid at the start of the course – usually around £150. This is the only charge and includes the cost of all teaching, materials, exams, a crèche space (where available), and access to other short courses or activities at CLEAR.
Our main courses run for 30 weeks over the academic year (October 2024 to July 2025) for 4 hours per week, or 2 hours per week with creche. Regular attendance is very important as places are limited, and demand is high.
Attending the Assessment
Once we have invited you for an assessment, we start by asking for some information about you and how confident you are with reading, writing and speaking in English. If we can help you, we will suggest which course may be best for you. If we have a space available, we will enrol you and give you details about when it is starting. To find out more about our courses, visit our ESOL page.
If we are unable to offer you a place, we will explain why and suggest some other places you could learn English. If spaces do become available, we will update the website and open our online enquiry form.
