Welcome to Functional Skills English!
Functional Skills English Level 2 is a qualification that is, mostly, accepted as an equivalent to English GCSE.
If you do not like the idea of going to exam centres to sit examination then this will be ideal for you as Functional Skills can be sat online from home!
In these lesson we use lots of past papers to work from so that you feel completely confident by the time you take your exam. You are prepared for the reading, writing and communication aspects of the exam.
If you have any questions come along, I’ll happily answer them all!
Due to the success of our trial with having recordings of some GCSE classes as mini courses on llpextralearningspace.co.uk we are including these course topics within our mini courses. This then allows you to buy previous lessons in topic packs either for revision purposes or to do a previous topic yourselves. This will potentially then over the next couple of years enable either part or the whole course to be bought instead or as well as our live lesson/ recording for two weeks. We recognise that this will have some issues for those that do not wish to be on camera. So we are changing the format of this class very slightly so that the visual register and any informal discussions happen before and after the lesson itself is recorded. The teachers will all have their settings set to speaker view so that the thumbnail of whoever is speaking will only be highlighted when or if they speak. If they don’t wish to be seen while speaking they can also switch off their video before speaking or at any part of the lesson after the visual register. If this causes any further concerns at all though do contact us to set up a password.
