Celebrating Our First ESOL Graduates – and Places Now Open for 2026–27
On 24 August 2026, Pars Community proudly celebrated the graduation of the very first learners on the Pars Community ESOL Course – and what a year it has been.
This was the first year Pars Community has run the course officially, and almost every candidate achieved a high pass in their ESOL exams at B1 and B2 level. The exam had two parts – a written exam (reading, writing and listening) and a speaking exam – and our learners rose to the challenge in both.
We are incredibly proud of everyone who took part. Many of our learners balanced their studies with work, family and a new life in the UK – and their commitment shows in these results. Congratulations to all our graduates, and thank you to our teachers, volunteers and funders who made it possible.
