Essential Skills

Morley College offers a full range of Essential Skills courses across all levels.

Our Centres

We have centres in Chelsea, North Kensington and Waterloo, as well as in Stockwell. Some courses also have the flexibility of studying online. You choose where and how you want to learn with us.

When do the courses start?

Most of our courses start in September, but we have some that start in January and April.

You can email us on admin@staging.morleycollege.ac.uk to find out about the latest availability.

What subjects and Levels can I do?

We offer courses in ESOL (English for speakers of other languages), Maths, English and ICT. Our courses range from total beginners at the lower level up to GCSE.

Please note that not all centres offer all levels, but we will work to find the find course for you in a centre local to you. 

How do I enrol?

We now offer the chance to enrol through the summer via our new online assessment method. To enquire, you need to fill in our Essential Skills enquiry form. 

The form will ask you a few questions about yourself and allows us to start your registration process. This form is easy to complete on either a computer or smartphone. 

We will then send you an assessment to do at home, this will also work on your computer or smartphone. 

Please complete and submit your assessment, and a member of the teaching team will call you back and discuss your options.

We know everyone has different reasons for studying, and you will get a chance to discuss all of this with the tutor. At this point, you can choose at what time of day you want to study, subject to class availability.

In person advice and guidance sessions

We know not everyone wants to do forms online. If you would like to come into the centre to complete your enrolment we have a series of advice and guidance days scheduled.

To complete your enrolment on the day and to secure your place you must bring in the following evidence. We will not be able to enrol you without this.
