If you haven't found anything yet try the NAC.

Community schools in south Ayrshire run English lessons for the parents of refugee children. Not sure which schools are “community” in nac.

Check with the Focus Centre in Saltcoats.

The thing to search for is “ESOL” - English for Speakers of Other Languages.

North Ayrshire Council has this on their website:

I thought there was still stuff going on at Focus.

The other place locally is the Ardrossan employability hub, half way down Glasgow street.

There are 5 employability hubs across North Ayrshire, who deal with these sort of services. Ardrossan, Stevenston, Irvine, Kilbirnie, Kilwinning.
