Course Overview

This course is designed to improve your reading, writing and speaking & listening skills.  You will work towards achieving a Level 2 Functional Skills qualification, which is seen as the equivalent of a pass at GCSE and is valued by HE institutions and employers. 

The course will focus on reading, writing, speaking & listening and presentation skills. 

This course is for anyone who wishes to improve their reading, writing and speaking skills.  

You will need a good basic knowledge of English, as this course will focus on technical skills such as grammar, spelling and vocabulary.  

All prospective students need to take an assessment before commencing this course.

To achieve your Functional Skills qualification you will need to sit a reading and writing exam and perform a speaking and listening activity (which will be assessed in class). 

Students are able to work up to Level 2 (which is generally seen as the equivalent to a pass at GCSE). Students are then able to progress to other College courses and beyond, once they have reached this level. 

There is a selection of lesson times available - in the morning, afternoon and evening,across both sites. Enrolment is generally in September or February and we also offer one-week summer intensives courses (for Level 2 candidates only).
