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 in with an approved centre.

A pass in Level 2 Functional Skills is equivalent to a Grade 4/pass grade in GCSE. However, it’s important to check if Functional Skills  Level 2 will be accepted for entry in place of a GCSE by any Higher 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 (£6 total) 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.
