Can someone help me please with the info about English courses or schools in the area?
I have an Au Pair who would love to attend part-tme English courses few evenings a week somewhere in SE1, SE17, SE15, SE16.
I am trying to find something suitable but the only thing I actually found are many expensive language schools in Oxford Street.
Do you know about something suitable? Thank you.
I'd recommend trying Hotcourses website. Search for ESOL (English as a second language) or EFL (..foreign...). The website will list courses in proximity to your postcode.
I know Goldsmiths do courses, and they take a lot of pride in offering community/adult education as well as their core uni courses. It could also be worth checking out South Bank Uni.
Make sure you get a proper qualification, something like 'Cambridge first certificate' or Learn direct's courses are another up and coming standard a lot of places work to.
Beware of the private colleges on Oxford street, they advertise abroad, charge a packet, and don't even give you a certificate that is worth the paper it's printed on!
