Course description
Introduction
If you're 19 or over our functional skills courses can help you develop the practical skills in English and maths that you need to live, study and work. You'll learn to apply English and maths skills in real-life situations through reading, writing, speaking and listening tasks. The course is run at our Wandsworth and Tooting campuses.
The courses are available across different levels, so you'll be able to study at the level best suited to you. If you've applied to study a GCSE with us, depending on your assessment, we may recommend you study Functional Skills first.
You'll work towards the Edexcel Functional Skills qualification, or the City & Guilds Award in Functional Skills.
