There are 16 Education and Training Boards (ETBs) across the country that offer English language skills courses for adults.
If you need to learn or improve your English, the ETB will assess your English language skills in reading, writing, listening, and speaking and arrange appropriate language and other learning supports to help you develop your English.
This service is free.
