Functional Skills English Level 2 - Block Week
Course Overview
Do you need proof of your English skills? Do you have all the skills, but no paperwork to back you up so that you can get your next job or promotion?
This one week, fast paced, intensive course is designed to get you exam ready for your Level 2 Functional Skills English qualification. We'll help you master your techniques in areas that you need support and prepare you for taking your Level 2 exams at the end of the week.
Most employers and further education providers will accept a level 2 functional skills qualification in place of your GCSE certificate, but you will need to double check with your chosen employer, college or university.
