Ell Training Courses & What They Involve
These are qualifications that people require to improve employment chances and gain access into higher education, such as University. The most popular functional skills are Maths and English, as these level 2 qualifications are mandatory for most jobs and University courses.
These qualifications are equivalents to GCSE level 4 or a C grade in the old grading system.
We help people of all ages and abilities to achieve their functional skills in Maths and English for both entry and level 1 and level 2.
Each level is up to 12 weeks long and once you finish the course you will need to sit an exam. The exam is compulsory and consists of three parts: reading comprehension, writing and listening and speaking.
Depending on your background and current position you may be eligible for a funded functional skills course. We have helped thousands of learners access funded courses, so free to them.
