About your Courses

Functional Skills courses are designed to give you the key practical skills you need to use English in your everyday life. This course bundle allows you to study and gain nationally a recognised GCSE alternative qualification.

Functional Skills qualifications can help to improve your job prospects as well as get onto college and university courses. Additionally, you will develop skills that will give you greater confidence in work and at home whether that’s creating a budget or writing a formal letter.

This course option also provides you with a specialist tutor who will guide you through your learning. You will receive an hour of one-to-one time with your tutor focussed on your unique needs and additional learning in areas you find difficult. You will be given an email address for your tutor who will be available for support during office hours.

In addition, you will have tutor-marked assignments and a full set of mock exams, all with feedback from your specialist tutor identifying any areas where you need further revision.

When you have completed the course material, you’ll be ready to sit your online exam. Your exam is included in this bundle so there are no further fees. All you need to do is contact exams@learndirect.com and get it booked. The exam is invigilated so you’ll need a working web cam.

Upon gaining your Functional Skills Level 2 in English, you'll get a qualification that is the equivalent to a grade C or above at GCSE (new grade 4). This means that you are able to demonstrate your ability to use both English and maths at this level. This is essential for certain careers – such as teaching – so your employment prospects open up considerably.
