From initial enquiry SLC have been professional and informative. They have supported us with enquiries and the best courses to support our learners & community. We supported OET & IELTS for the BNO community settling in the West Midlands. Whenever information & feedback was requested – Bethan responded in a timely manner. She always took time out to explain and talk through mock exam results for each learner & course. She is a friendly & approachable person who is a great asset to SLC. When I visited the IELTS class it was great to see the enthusiasm of the learners who were all complimenting their tutor Becky. It must be so difficult to get that interaction online but it was obvious how engaging they were and how highly they thought of their tutor. 2 of them even followed up via email too. The whole experience has been a pleasure and we do not feel there is anything negative to feedback.

“The EELGA Strategic Migration Partnership is delighted to have found SLC to deliver our IELTS and OET courses. We are also pleased that they will deliver our integration courses as these are vital to the integration journey of overseas nationals. SLC is professionally run and always keeps us updated on learner progress and attendance.”

“RefuAid has found SLC to be one of the best language providers for supporting refugee healthcare professionals in preparing for the OET exam. So far, 76 nurses, pharmacists, and doctors from refugee backgrounds who attended SLC classes have passed their OET and they are now at different stages of their professional requalification. Many more will be taking their OET exam in the coming months”
