Online Functional Skills Courses

What Are They?

Functional Skills qualifications are equivalent to GCSEs. They focus on real-life skills and are generally easier to study than other course options. They are also still accepted by many further education courses.

​

They are the fundamental skills of maths & English, and they help to prepare students with the skills they will need in their work, every day, and professional lives.

Why Are They Important?

Functional Skills are sought after by employers as they equip students with essential skills for the workplace. They also help to build confidence in using English and Maths skills in real life without the need for assistance.

​

Having Functional Skills qualifications can help boost employability and increase students' confidence in their numeracy and literacy skills as they develop their understanding of the key concepts.

About Our Online Functional Skills Courses

Our academic year runs from September to June. We also offer 3-month intensive courses that allow you to complete your course faster. Exams are usually sat in June, however, if students feel they are not ready they can sit their exams when they feel more content and confident. 

What Is the Difference Between Level 1 & 2 Functional Skills

Level 2 Functional Skills qualifications are considered the equivalent to GCSEs, and make the perfect alternative for many students. However, if students are less confident or not ready to start at Level 2, they can start with a Level 1 Functional Skills course which will prepare them. If you are unsure of the best option, please get in touch, we are always happy to help.

Exams for online Functional Skills courses can also be sat from the comfort of your own home.
