Maths and English are vital skills we all need to develop and keep using throughout life. Almost every job requires the ability to communicate and use numbers confidently, along with the capacity to problem solve and use technology effectively.
City & Guilds has a range of qualifications which can be used to support learners with developing their Maths and English skills from Functional Skills (4748) which are intended for anyone wishing to develop their maths and English. They focus on both the underpinning skills as well as the ability to apply maths and English to different contexts.
We have a highly versatile collection of units and qualifications that are designed to support flexible and personalised patterns of maths and English learning, our ‘Bite sized’ English Skills and Maths Skills (3847) qualifications for a more targeted development of specific skills.
Our Principles of Maths and English (3844) qualifications enable learners to demonstrate sound knowledge and understanding of maths or English, as well as the confidence and resilience to operate under the pressure of a one-off onscreen test. Available at Entry 3, Level 1 and Level 2, these qualifications can be used to help learners progress towards 'destination' qualifications such as Functional Skills or GCSE.
