Welcome to the Dunstable College ESOL website

Here you will find information and resources to help you when deciding to study English as a foreign language.

ESOL courses are tailored to meet your needs; all of our tutors are here to help and want to make sure that you get the most out of learning English. We want to make it enjoyable and allow you to learn in a way that suits you.

Some full-time courses also allow you to combine ESOL with vocational subjects such as IT and Computing, Hairdressing and Childcare.

Despite a range of levels and backgrounds, our students and teachers form a very welcoming international community in the college, organising social events, outings, trips and taking part in the wide variety of enrichment activities that the College provides for the whole student body. ESOL students can play football, go bowling, take part in talent shows and help raise money for charity, making friends and enjoying themselves as well as learning English.

We hope you find out everything you need to know. If you have any questions or would like to know more, please email Eamonn at eegann@centralbeds.ac.uk or Elzbieta at egmoyle@centralbeds.ac.uk during term-time or enquiries@centralbeds.ac.uk during the holidays.

Want to teach English as a Foreign Language?

CELTA Courses are available.

If you are looking to teach English as a foreign language to adults, either in this country or abroad then you will need a recognised qualification such as the CELTA course.

CELTA (Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults) is an internationally recognised teacher training qualification in teaching English as a foreign language to adults. Students, who successfully complete the course, are able to seek work teaching English to non-native speakers within the UK or abroad.
