Remember back in school when you'd sit your maths and English exams, wishing you could just be done with it all? Well, for one reason or another, I never quite finished mine. Years later, with a dream job in sight, who should rear their head? Functional Skills. The twist? Turns out they're exactly what I needed.

What exactly is a functional skills course?
Functional Skills qualifications demonstrate your practical ability to use English and maths confidently, not just understand theories. Think of them as proof that you can handle:
English: Everyday reading, writing, and communication. This includes things like understanding letters, crafting emails, and making presentations.
Maths: Problem-solving and handling numbers in real-life contexts. This could mean managing budgets, understanding measurements, or interpreting data.
Functional Skills courses come in levels, a bit like GCSEs. These range from Entry-Level up to Level 2, which is equivalent to a GCSE Pass (Grade 4/C). Many jobs and further education courses ask for at least Level 2 in English and maths.
How long does a functional skills course take?
This totally depends on a few things:
Your Starting Point: If you're already close to your desired level, you'll fly through it quicker than someone starting from scratch.
Course Intensity: You can choose from intensive options or spread your learning out.
The Level You're Aiming For: Higher levels naturally take more time.
At Bright Learning Centre, we offer tailored support and flexible learning. Our tutors will work with you to figure out the best pace and approach for your needs.
