Functional Skills qualifications are designed to enable students to develop confidence and fluency in Maths and English. The skills taught will help learners to participate and progress in education, training and employment. Functional Skills assessments are graded as either a Pass or Fail. Functional Skills qualifications are available at Entry 1, Entry 2, Entry 3, Level 1 and Level 2. Entry Level 3 is below GCSE level, Level 1 is comparable to GCSE grades 3, and Level 2 is comparable to GCSE grade 4 or (C grade). Exams can be taken online or as a paper exam. Exams are conducted throughout the year, but you have to book in advance. These exams are externally assessed and carried out in exam conditions at our assessment centre.
