Course Overview
This course is delivered entirely online through an independent study format, with regular progress reviews and support from our specialist tutor.
All delivery will move to our online distance learning platform, PASS TECH. This independent learning platform is designed for learners who are able to study independently. Learners will work through the learning materials, assessments, and mock examinations online at their own pace.
Before enrolling, learners must ensure they have access to a suitable laptop or computer with a working camera, reliable internet access, and the ability to study independently.
English and maths qualifications are the fundamental building blocks to achieving your goal. Whether that involves further education, going to university or training to improve your employability. This course is unsuitable for learners who already hold a GCSE grade C / grade 4 or above. The course is offered during daytime and in the evenings.
Functional Skills qualifications can also be completed online, giving you greater flexibility and the opportunity to study in a way that suits your schedule and learning style. Following an initial assessment, you will be placed at the right level for you, either Entry 3, Level 1 or Level 2. Level 2 is equivalent to a GCSE Grade 4 or C. You can study online anytime and from anywhere, making it easier to balance learning with work or family commitments. These qualifications are ideal if you are looking to progress to further education, university or improve your employability.
On completion, many learners choose to progress to GCSE English or maths to take their learning even further. The course will run as follows: Entry 3 and Level 1: 4 months, Level 2: 6 months, with an ongoing cycle of start dates. The course is free for UK adults without a GCSE Grade 4 or C or Level 2 equivalent in English or maths. However, please note that this course is not suitable for learners who already hold a GCSE Grade 4 or C or above.
You will be required to complete an Initial Assessment and a Subject Knowledge Assessment to determine the most suitable course for you, either Level 1 or Level 2.
By completing the initial assessment, the platform will identify the most suitable course for you, either Functional Skills Level 1 or Level 2. Please note that we do not currently offer Entry Level 3 through the distance-learning platform. You will need to choose either Maths or English, as you cannot enrol on both subjects at the same time.
You can study online at a time and place that suits you, making it easier to balance your learning with work and family commitments. However, we will expect you to demonstrate consistent weekly engagement by dedicating approximately three hours per week to your studies. This is important to ensure that you make sufficient progress and are able to achieve your qualification within the expected timeframe.
This course is free for UK adults if you don’t already have a grade 4/C in GCSE or Level 2 equivalent in English & Maths
The course will run as follows: Level 1 will take approximately 5 months to complete, while Level 2 will take approximately 7 months. We have two intakes each year, in September and January.
We recommend approximately 3 hours of study per week to help you stay on track and complete the course within the expected timeframe: around 5 months for Level 1 and 7 months for Level 2.
