The course was designed as a combination of our popular supported packages in Functional Skills Maths and English Level 2 which means you will benefit from 2 hours of one-to-one sessions with a dedicated tutor that will provide support and guidance.

To help you make the most out of this course, you will also have 3 mock exam papers that your tutor will check and offer feedback on, in order to prepare you for your Functional Skills Level 2 online exams.
