Functional Skills

Functional Skills is a suite of qualifications suitable for anyone wanting to develop their English, mathematics or ICT skills in order to succeed in all aspects of life, work and other learning.

Available from Entry 1 through to Level 2, these qualifications cover everything from the very basics to more advanced skills. They are supported by a variety of assessment options depending on the specific qualification taken and are designed to reflect the various needs of learners.

Functional Skills are also a mandatory component of all Apprenticeship frameworks in England.
