NHS Functional Skills in English Level 1

<p>English qualifications are essential for getting a good job or for moving on to further study. We offer a range of part time English non-accredited and accredited Functional Skills courses at Entry levels, Level 1 and Level 2. Courses are classroom based.</p>

<p>This course is for learners who would study towards achieving a Functional Skills qualification at Level 1.</p>

<p>You must be aged 19 or over by 31st August 2025. Enrolment is subject to GLA funding eligibility being confirmed in respect of residency, income, prior attainment and a skills check. The skills check is not an exam. It&#039;s for you to make sure you get on the right course at your current level.</p>

<p>You will have a skills check with one of the course tutors before you can enrol.</p>

<p>You will be taught in face to face lessons in the classroom.</p>

<p>Your teacher will give you feedback about your work and your progress on the course, which will help you improve.</p>

<p>You will be able to give your views in a feedback form at the end of the course or directly to your tutor or manager during the course. You may also be asked to participate in surveys for funders or Ofsted.</p>

<p>We provide a wide range of courses you can progress on to, to further develop your skills. You can study <br />
- English Functional skills at Level 2<br />

- one of our career development courses that prepare you for employment in sectors that you are interested in working in.</p>

<p>Outcomes<br />

<p>Your tutor will assess your progress throughout the course, by setting you homework and informal assessments. The final assessment will be an exam through which you will gain a qualification, if successful.</p>

<p>You will need to come to lessons with pens, a ring binder folder, writing paper or a notebook. If you have access to your own PC or laptop, that helps but our digital equipment can be used when needed.</p>
