Functional Skills English level 2 is a great way to enable your child to develop confidence and fluency in English. Learners will be able to competently use English in the real world and gain a grasp of basic English Knowledge and Skills. Throughout the course, we will be practising skills such as reading, writing comprehension and inference skills whilst studying many past papers so all students feel completely confident to take the exam.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS CLASS IS REPEATED SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK BECAUSE OF IT’S POPULARITY WITH THE SAME CONTENT AND PLACES ARE LIMITED. PLEASE ONLY SIGN UP FOR ONE OF THE SESSIONS PER WEEK PER CHILD AS WE ARE UNABLE TO GIVE REFUNDS IF YOU SIGN UP FOR MORE THAN ONE SESSION, AS THAT STOPS SOMEONE ELSE FROM HAVING THE OPTION OF A PLACE.
Many home-educating families opt for Functional Skills as an alternative to GCSE exams as the content of the curriculum and the exam is better suited to the child. Please note that although your child can sit the exam from home, this needs to be booked with an approved centre.
A pass in Level 2 Functional Skills (English is equivalent to a Grade 4/pass grade in GCSE English. However, it’s important to check if Functional Skills (English) Level 2 will be accepted for entry in place of a GCSE by any Further Education course provider you intend to use as this can vary.
The price for Functional Skills Level 2 is the same as for our GCSE classes (£5.00 +VAT a week per student) All marking and feedback are included in the price. Your child will be expected to do up to 1 – 2 hours of independent work each week. There is a maximum of 25 students on each course (which will be made up of those who wish to attend the classes live and those who prefer to follow the recording in their own time).
Each of our Functional Skills courses will run for one year, but your child can take the exam at several different points throughout the year whenever they are ready. Your child can join at any time, as with our other courses we run a rolling curriculum. You can find out more about Functional Skills Qualifications HERE.
Please read our guide to taking qualifications with LLP to understand more about how to access exams for Functional Skills.
For safeguarding purposes, each Zoom lesson includes a brief registration at the beginning which requires children to have their webcam switched on. If your child would like to join lessons but is anxious about this, please get in touch, and we can arrange an alternate method of registration for them.
