Build the reading, writing and communication skills you need for work, further study or everyday life, at your own pace with full tutor support.
This course is designed for adults who want to improve their English for work, further study or daily life. Whether you missed out at school or want to build on what you already know, we’ll support you every step of the way. You’ll work in a relaxed, supportive environment, with expert tutors who understand the needs of adult learners.
You’ll develop your skills in reading, writing, speaking and listening - from understanding instructions and writing emails, to joining in discussions and producing formal documents. We’ll help you improve your spelling, grammar and punctuation, and grow in confidence using English in real-life situations.
Completing this course can open doors to further study, Apprenticeships or employment opportunities. A Level 2 Functional Skills qualification is equivalent to a GCSE pass and often required by employers or for entry onto higher-level courses.
This part-time course is delivered flexibly to fit around your life. You’ll study in small groups, with a mix of classroom sessions, online learning and 1-to-1 support. You’ll complete tasks and practice papers to prepare for a short exam at the end of the course.
