Functional Skills are recognised qualifications in the UK and are offered at different levels, including Entry Level, Level 1 and Level 2.

Both are recognised qualifications, but levels 1 and 2 are more advanced levels that will provide you with comprehensive skills and knowledge while entry-level courses are an introduction and basic level qualification to go to subsequent levels. Is it required to complete entry-level qualifications to move onto a level? No, you are not obliged to complete entry-level courses before moving on to higher levels. However, entry-level courses serve as a starting point for acquiring basic skills and knowledge that will help you strive and boost your chances of securing better marks at higher levels.
