A new suite of English language qualifications was launched in October 2007. The new ESOL for Work qualifications will make it easier for employers and migrant workers to get the functional English language skills they need. The qualifications offer a new solution specifically tailored to the needs of employers and will encourage employers to contribute to the cost of training their staff. The new qualifications are shorter and more work-focused than traditional ESOL qualifications.
