Welcome to Learning English in Yorkshire and the Humber - LEYH!

On this website you can find information about English language classes in your area and across the Yorkshire and Humber region.

Information on going to English classes for BN(O)s – Although generally BN(O) visa holders cannot access free English classes or other courses funded through the Adult Education Budget (AEB) for the first three years of their residence in the UK, many local authorities in Yorkshire and Humber are allowing Hong Kongers to join English classes run by their adult education teams. If you are a Hong Konger living in Doncaster, Kirklees, Leeds, North Yorkshire, Rotherham, Sheffield, York or Wakefield you can join AEB funded classes for free. This means that you can join most English classes at Colleges and Adult Education Centres in these areas for free.

Also, there are many other kinds of English classes open to Hong Kongers which are available in the community sector. To locate these classes, search for classes near to you using the postcode search and then contact specific groups to find out if Hong Kongers can join.

West Yorkshire Police have produced a Hate Crime Awareness Form in traditional Chinese. There is also a third party reporting service for Hong Kongers and other East and South East Asian Communities – On your side

I love the new Learning English website because the learners can have a look at all the provision near them and make the best choice for their own situation.
