Functional English – Entry Level 3 – Level 2

If you have previously achieved any grade below a D/Grade 3 in GCSE English, you may be eligible to complete Functional Skills English. The most appropriate level for you will be based on your initial assessment scores.

The three components are assessed separately, so each can be attempted when you are ready.

You will have to pass all three elements to pass your qualification.

At Levels 1 and 2 you can take the Reading and Writing assessment either online or on paper. The Entry level assessments are on paper and there is a choice of topics.

You can move on to the next level which may be GCSE English. Achieving certain levels in Functional English will also help you to gain access to higher levels courses.

The Functional English course is divided into a range of modules designed to develop practical communication skills for everyday life, further education, and the workplace. Each module focuses on building confidence in reading, writing, speaking, and listening, while helping learners apply their English skills to real-life situations. Topics covered include understanding different types of texts, improving written communication, using accurate spelling and grammar, and developing effective speaking and discussion skills. These modules support learners in achieving their qualification and progressing towards further study or employment opportunities.
