Why Choose Functional Skills Level 1

Functional skills qualifications are designed to teach learners the practical abilities they will need in real-life contexts, and the certificate to prove it. Level 1 focuses on building a solid foundation in Maths and English, from calculating budgets and understanding data to writing clear emails and reports. Mastering these skills is a great boost for your child’s confidence, and opens doors for them to step into a career or start working towards Functional Skills Level 2. Functional Skills Level 2 is widely accepted by colleges, apprenticeship providers, and employers as equivalent to a GCSE pass (grade 4). Functional skills qualifications are a respected, effective pathway that equips your child with useful, tangible abilities.
