學習英語
簡介
學識英文是融入英國社會的重要棟樑。
英國政府積極支持BNO簽證持有人成功融入社會，郡政府能向政府獲取每人£850資助，協助在東英格蘭BNO簽證持有人學英文。在東英格蘭內的郡政府會使用資助舉辦面授課程。
本中心認為BNO簽證持有人對學英語有不同需求，所以中心亦撥款舉辦不同課程，當中包括網上、自修、專業商務、IELTS及駕駛筆試課程。
參與本中心安排的課程必須是身處東英格蘭（Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk, and Suffolk)內的BNO簽證持有人及其家屬，如您身處英國其他地區，請瀏覽當區的香港移民歡迎中心的網站。
英文評級
ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages)
準確評估及理解自己英文評級並不容易。CEFR雖然世界各地通用，但大部分政府資助課程使用ESOL或Skills for Life評級。以下表格顯示CEFR與ESOL級別的區別。
以下表格根據CEFR評級列明實際英文能力。

因應不同人的需要，中心已籌備不同類型的課程，閣下可以選擇最適合自己的課程。
