What people are saying about Learning English in Yorkshire & the Humber

It's a fantastic idea to have all of the ESOL opportunities brought together on one user friendly website!

Emma Taylor, Head of International Programmes, York St John University

I think it will be very useful to collate information about ESOL opportunities across local authority areas into one central resource. It can often be difficult to keep up with changes and this way, we can all keep better informed of what’s out there to the benefit of the communities we’re working with.

Fiona Himsworth, Head of Maths, English and Targeted Learning, City of York Council

What a wonderful idea to have a site that I could access for information about local accredited and non-accredited ESOL provision delivered around the region. This would definitely be an asset to my work with refugees.

Shaun Brooks Personal Advisor, Syrian Resettlement Project, Adult Learning Centre, East Riding Council

MESH have put together an invaluable resource for both students and schools with their comprehensive website. The Learning English website is central to the effective delivery of ESOL in the region.

Nick Conibear at English4All

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.

Julie Linley, Education Manager at St Vincent's Support Centre, Leeds
