ESL Class Search Instructions

How to use this search tool:

Information has been gathered from numerous providers of ESL classes, and compiled into a database so that people can search from a single list to identify the most appropriate class choices. From this page you can select they type(s) of classes that you want to see.

When you have made all of your selections, click on the "Search" button and the list of classes will appear. The class list shows the basic information of Class name, schedule, city, level, and starting week.

If there are many classes, the list will show 10 at a time and you may navigate through the records at the top or the bottom of the page by clicking on:

| New Search | Next 10 Records | Prev 10 Records |

Drop Down Selection Buttons:
City Click on the down arrow and you may select any city in Santa Clara County. Only classes in that city will be listed. If you do not select a city, all classes in the county will appear on the list.
Type of Class Click on the down arrow and select the level or type of ESL class that you would like to see on the list. If you do not select a specific type of class, all classes in the county will appear on the list.
Languages Spoken Within Provider Organization This is for people who have a need for some assistance in a specific language other than English. If a language is selected, the list will show only classes given by providers who have that capability within their organization. It does not mean that the class will be taught by a bi-lingual instructor. All classes are taught in English unless otherwise specified in the class name or description. It does not mean that a bi-lingual person will be at the class site at the time of all classes. If necessary, arrangements can be made for a translator to assist with an explanation or clarification. More details can be obtained by contacting the provider.
Type of Provider Numerous types of organizations or institutions are providing ESL classes. The provider is the organization funding or sponsoring the class, which may be different than the location of the class. If you do not choose a type of provider, you will see all classes listed that meet the other Search Criteria selected (city, level, etc.). For example if college credits were required, only classes at University or Community Colleges could be viewed. Or if a class with no fees was desired, the search could be limited to only Community Based Organizations or Religious Organizations, which are often free.
Sort After you have limited the type of classes that you want to see listed, you may select the order in which they will appear on the list.
Other Options

Click on the Class Name for more details on that particular class, including eligibility requirements, fees, description of class, etc. From the Class Detail Page, you may obtain more information on the location of the class (including a link to a map and driving directions) and other classes taught at the same location.

Click on the Class Provider to see more about the provider, a listing of other classes taught by that provider, and a link to the provider's own web site.

If you do not see the class you want and would like to try another search with different criteria (another city or provider) click on New Search to return to the ESL Class Search Page.
