Hi Soniiii
Thanks for your comment. When you click to enrol you should be taken to our courses platform. There you will see the 'enrol in courses' button which takes you to a list of all currently available courses - you need to click to enrol in the ones that you are interested in taking -you might need to scroll down the page. If you look at the 'My courses' tab, you will see any courses you have already enrolled in.
I hope that makes sense - please let us know at TeachingEnglish@britishcouncil.org if you are still having issues. It's helpful if you can send a screenshot to help us understand the issue.
Thanks
Cath
