Functional Skills

The complete package for English and maths 

We’ll support you from start to finish with Functional Skills. Using our diagnostic and skills assessment tools, alongside our full suite of high-quality Functional Skills qualifications, we can ensure engagement, success and achievement for your learners. 

Functional Skills are key to the foundations for learners to progress into their specialist skills sets, so 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 qualifications offer learners a vocational route into English and maths with the flexibility to sit their assessment all year round.
