The exams are administered by several different examination boards and awarding bodies, many of which have British Council approval. When you choose your course, it is also important for you to check that the course provider is registered with the government. www.dfes.gov.uk/providersregisterGeneral and intensive English courses are designed for people with an interest in learning English for work and everyday life.English for academic purposes (EAP) is intend to those who go on to study an academic subject at a UK college or university. EAP courses focus on areas such as writing essays, taking lecture notes, reading and summarising articles, talking about statistics and giving presentations. This will help to prepare for academic study in the UK so that you get the most out of your chosen course. EAP courses are usually taken in advance of your academic course.Pre-university entrance English courses are similar to EAP courses but are designed to prepare for the first term of your main subject-specific course. If your English language skills are below a certain level, the university or college may request that you attend its own pre-university English course in order for you to be admitted to your main course of study. Formal tests can help to determine your level of English and provide an accurate assessment of your abilities before you start of studies. The two main ones are IELTS and TOEFL, which is an American equivalent and are accepted by UK institutions. A grade of 5.5 to 7.0 in IELTS or 550 to 650 in TOEFL (213 to 250 computer based) is enough for admission to most UK institutions. You may be admitted even if you did not achieve the IELTS/TOEFL standards, on condition that you attend and successfully complete additional pre-sessional English language training in the UK. Once you have reached an adequate level of English to start your course, you may be able to take additional English language lessons at the institution where you are studying. These are often free.English for specific purposes (ESP) courses cover the specialised language and vocabulary needed for a wide variety of careers and occupations. You can take ESP courses that focus on art, banking and finance, computing, electronics, engineering, fashion, air traffic control, international trade, management, marketing and public relations, medicine, office work, science and technology, teaching and tourism.Exam preparation coursesSome exams may only be offered in June and December so you would need to choose a course that runs either from April to June or from October to December. Other exams, such as IELTS (for entry on to degree-level courses), are offered more frequently, giving you greater flexibility in choosing when to study. The certificate you receive if you are successful will be useful for employment and education purposes around the world.Vacation courses are short courses usually run either in March and April or July and August. They can easily be combined with a holiday in the UK.English Plus coursesTheses courses combine general English with vocabulary and grammar for specific vocational purposes, such as health terminology for prospective nurses.English for Young Learners are aimed at students aged from five to 17.GCSEs, A-levels and other equivalentsThere are other recognised qualifications for which one can study in the UK. The General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) and the International GCSE (IGCSE) or Scottish Standard Grade are normally taken at the age of 16. Students can do one further year of academic study before taking Advanced Subsidiary examinations (AS-levels) or Scottish Highers (in Scotland). After another year of study, they can take Advanced-level examinations (A-levels), Scottish Advanced Highers or, in some cases, the International Baccalaureate (IB). Alternatively, there are work-based qualifications, such as General National Vocational Qualifications (GNVQs) or vocational A-levels, which can be taken after one or two years of study.Accrington and Rossendale College
