This is an online English training course which will help you improve key English language areas:
At the very beginning of the course, you’ll sit a Proficiency Assessment test to ascertain your current skill level. From here, you’ll get straight into the course, choosing units or subject areas you find interesting and relevant to you. This could be anything from travel, sports and technology, through to world news. The topics are regularly updated, so the course content is topical and relevant. To ensure you’re studying at the appropriate level, you’ll resit the Proficiency Assessment every 3 months to track and monitor your progress. The course level will then advance as appropriate.
You can choose any 3 units to study at a time. Each unit will comprise different activities, exercises and games, all designed to provide an interactive and enjoyable study experience. As you’re learning, you’ll be building up your Word Bank, which will then provide one of the resources you’ll be required to study each week. You’ll also build a Grammar Guide, again another resource you will be asked to review and study each week.
One valuable resource you will have access to is the tutoring sessions, which you can take part in with a wider group. These sessions will be vital to help you improve your English conversational skills.
The combination of the study units, practice lessons, tutorials and ongoing assessments will all assist you in building confidence in your English language skills.
At the end of this course, you will receive a Pitman Training Certificate.
Please note this is not an IELTS qualification.
The topic of the units is your choice, and there is a wide ranging selection available with subjects such as
Whilst studying, the online learning system will be automatically building your Word Bank and Grammar Guide which we recommend you study once a week.
You’ll have access to online tutorial sessions with qualified tutors, which you can participate in as part of a group. You’ll be asked to attend these regularly to help build your conversational and pronunciation skills.
You’ll also be required to sit regular achievement tests at the end of each unit to monitor your progress.
This online English language course is designed to help you improve key English language skills in reading, speaking, listening and writing. Throughout the training you will build your English vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation and fluency.
Before starting this course you must already have some basic English language understanding.

Requesting funding from your employers needn’t be a daunting task. Many employers support and encourage their employees with their professional development and consider it a worthwhile investment to fund any training required.
What we can help with:
There may be the opportunity to apply for funded grants that can help towards the cost of training. These include the Skills Development Scotland ITAs and the ReAct programme in Wales. All schemes will have different terms and conditions that will need to be met in order to qualify for a grant and these are managed by each individual centre.
We’d recommend you speak to a Course Advisor in your local centre to find out whether they are registered to offer any such schemes and discuss your requirements further.
