Functional skills are practical skills in Maths, English, and ICT that enable people to apply their knowledge to real-life situations. These skills are designed to provide learners with the essential knowledge needed to succeed in the workplace and in their personal lives. Functional Skills are recognised qualifications in the UK and are offered at different levels, including Entry Level, Level 1 and Level 2. What is the difference between entry-level and level 1 and 2 functional skills? 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. Are functional skills qualifications recognised and accepted in the UK? Yes, functional skills qualifications are an accepted part of all apprenticeship standards and a way to progress to further education in the UK. Do I have to physically appear for the exam? Yes, for the writing and reading assessment, you will be required to appear for the exam at our designated office in London or Swindon on the exam day. You will be required to take the speaking, listening, and communicating assessment via Zoom. Do I have to register for the exam? Yes, you need to be registered for the exam three weeks prior to the exam date. What is the assessment procedure for an entry-level 2 English course?

The listening and speaking assessment is, however, internally set. Your exam results will be forwarded to Pearson Edexcel's internal verifier once you finish the exam. If you pass all three components, you'll be able to receive the qualification certificate from the awarding body. How to pass the Functional Skills English entry level 2 exam?

What will I get after finishing the course?
