Functional Skills Courses

Online and workplace learning with RQF, Endorsed and Certified qualifications

Having a good level of English and Maths skills is necessary for most jobs. In fact, you will likely need qualifications in these subjects to apply for university or enrol on accredited courses. While this is not a blanket requirement across all academic and professional sectors, it is beneficial to have a functional knowledge of these subjects. 

If you don’t possess GCSEs, we can help you earn equivalent Level 2 qualifications in the form of Functional Skills. Our online course range includes English, Maths, and ICT. Once you have completed your chosen course and successfully passed the exam, you will be issued with a recognised qualification that can be used to further your academic career. 

learndirect will support you along the way, and with the courses being taught online, you won’t be restricted to classroom study. Instead, you will be able to learn at your own pace and in your own time. 

Take charge of your future by enrolling on your chosen course today!
