Ascentis offers the full suite of ESOL Skills for Life Qualifications from Entry 1 to Level 2. We are the number one awarding organisation for ESOL in the London region, across the UK and in Wales, dedicated to supporting thousands of learners by improving their communication and fluency in English, their employability skills and their ability to fully participate in every part of life in Britain.
Ascentis ESOL Skills for Life qualifications are designed specifically for people living in Britain and focus on preparing learners for everyday life, further education and the world of work. The primary aim is to assist the learner in becoming independent of other people such as interpreters or translators when interacting with English speakers in a work environment and elsewhere. By improving their communication and fluency in English, learners will significantly improve their employability skills and their ability to fully participate in every part of life in Britain beyond their local community.
We offer qualifications in Community Interpreting from Level 1 to Level 3. These qualifications support a progression route for ESOL learners into higher level study as well as equipping learners to work within and support their own language community. Learners may wish to study the subject as they have an interest in the topic or they may wish to use the qualifications as stepping-stones to become a qualified community interpreter. The Ascentis Level 3 qualification is widely recognised in the sector as a robust qualification, enabling individuals to practise as professional community interpreters.
Our recently developed ESOL Volunteering to Support English Language qualification is available at Levels 1 & 2 and has been developed to support the volunteers who want to teach ESOL. This could be learners who have been through the system and want to support their community, volunteers who want to help ESOL learners and those who may like to teach ESOL as a profession in the future.
