About your Courses

Functional Skills courses are designed to give you the key practical skills you need to use English and maths in your everyday life. This course bundle allows you to study both core subjects, and should you decide to take the exams you can gain nationally recognised GCSE alternative qualifications.

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.

You will learn everything the individual courses offer. For the maths element, this includes addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and how to read charts and tables. In English, you will study textual analysis, grammar, biases in writing and more.

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 (per subject) with your tutor, focusing 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. Exams are not included in this bundle but are available to purchase separately.  

Upon gaining your Functional Skills Level 2 in maths and English, you'll get a qualification that is 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.

  • Measure, shape and space – This section contains a wide range of topics from time to speed, distance to area and weight to temperature.

You’ll also look at probability and how likely certain things are to happen. You’ll learn how to spot patterns and see how even data and statistics can be biased. Our quizzes on topics such as averages, probability and interpreting charts and graphs will help you to make sure you’re ready for your and tutor-marked assignment and final exam, should you choose to take it.

  • Writing – As well as covering the best way to write certain pieces of text, this module will also test and improve your spelling, punctuation and grammar skills, ensuring that you are ready to sit your final exam, should you choose to do so.
