Functional Skills
Functional Skills qualifications are key to building foundations for learners to progress into their specialist skillsets. These subjects are a vital part of the entry/exit requirement for vocational study, apprenticeships and traineeships.
Positioned as an alternative to the GCSE route, Functional Skills offer learners a vocational pathway into English and Maths with the flexibility to sit their assessment all year round.
There are many local options for functional skills training, all of which offer slightly different paths to the qualifications. Outlined below are different options for free training (subject to meeting set requirements) you may want to consider for your staff.
