English Language Courses

At Westminster Kingsway College in central London, you can study English language courses that will help you to improve your English and develop your language skills to progress further. You can also prepare for IELTS with our IELTS Preparation Classes.

These courses are for non-native English speakers (EU and worldwide) who want to improve their English language skills. The courses are offered at Beginners, Elementary/Pre-intermediate, Intermediate and Upper Intermediate.

Each level is carefully structured to help you:

Improve your reading, writing, speaking & listening skills
Develop your confidence to communicate in English in different situations (e.g. work, study, life in London)

Our teachers are very experienced and they use the most up-to-date materials and a variety of approaches to make sure that your classes are interesting, motivating and effective. Classes include group, pair and project work as well as computer-based activities. Each centre also has a fully equipped Learning Resource Centre, which you are encouraged to use.

COVID-19 Update

We hope to be able to resume face-to-face teaching for September 2021 however this is subject to change and Government guidance. Please check with us for updates.
