Oxons College has set out to establish itself as one of the leading organisations in the country administering English programmes for different ages, walks, occupations and professions. The college has developed extensive and intensive resources,  curriculums and syllabuses tailor-made course designs to administer in classroom settings. The lessons are not limited to the four  walls of the classrooms. Every course is coordinated with the relevant setting and expertise. For instance, the learners of English for Nurse will have part of their learning experiences in the nursing setting. Likewise, in a football club or playground for the learners of English for Sports Personnel. We’ve achieved this thanks to our experience and knowledge of the sector, and through working with some of the leading experts in the field. Research of world-leading scholars in the field of ESP (English for Special Purpose) has been thoroughly studied and has been utilised in connection with the field experience of the subject field.
