Default How to find self-teach ESOL course

My prospective partner is a Thai national living with me in Swansea - he has studied US english in Thailand and can understand and be understood - however he needs to prepare for working later this year and to take the citizenship/english test in just over two years time. I have read that if he followes an approved ESOL course, with citizenship ellements, that he could avoid taking the test. We seem to have very little in the way of ESOL (including citizenship) education in this part of wales - does anyone know of any reasonably priced web based or written material that he could use for self-study initially until we locate a formal course. We have very little funding available and I am dissapointed to find that there seem to be none of the free resources locally that might be found in London or other large cities.

Any suggestions or ideas would be welcomed

As I understand it, the ESOL and Citizenship courses are only offered in Further Education or Community Colleges. Swansea College offer the ESOL/Citizenship courses: Swansea College - Full Time Courses

There is plenty of free stuff on the web, on this site and others where he can practise his English. Also, if you scroll through the comments here, you will see a number of websites offering practice and information on the citizenship test, some of which are free.
