Am I right for the course?
If you cannot provide a recent certificate of achievement in functional skills, you will be given an online initial and diagnostic assessment. You will need to be working at Entry 3, or Level 1. You will also be given an interview to assess your suitability.
If you are assessed at L1 or L2, you may be suitable for GCSE study if the course has not already started.
Apart from the entry qualifications, you will need to be able to attend your classes regularly and do regular homework. You will need to be motivated and enthusiastic about your learning. It is important for you to consider your work and family responsibilities before starting the course, especially if you are thinking about doing both Maths and English.
All students work towards the Certificate in Functional Skills in English.
All Speaking and Listening is assessed internally by your tutor. It is then quality checked internally and finally checked by a moderator from the awarding body.
Entry 3 assignments in Reading and Writing are paperbased and assessed by your tutor in a more informal setting.
Level 1 Reading and Writing assignments can be paperbased or online and are assessed externally by the exam board.
The tutor will assess you regularly throughout the year using college online resources and past papers.
What Next?
On completion of Entry 3 and Level 1, you will be given a diagnostic test to assess your suitability to progress to the next level.
Level 1 and Level 2 students should consider progression to GCSE and will need to make an online application to do so.
