Functional Skills resources

Need a single source provider of Functional Skills resources and assessment solutions?

Our 2023 trend report called ‘Maths and English: Making Functional Skills Accessible to All’ revealed that only half of surveyed adults (52.4%) felt confident with their Maths and English abilities.

Our Functional Skills online courses deliver learning opportunities ranging from entry-level to level 2 qualifications and aim to build confidence in Maths and English skills, aid career development, and help adults get back into work.

Perhaps you’re an apprenticeship provider looking to include Functional Skills assessment as a pre-requisite and bring your students up to standard ahead of their training programme.

Our resources are Ofsted compliant, engaging and are currently being used by many of our FE partners for successful delivery

Whatever your unique FE delivery needs, we have the learning solutions.

Each Functional Skills course has an auto-marked or tutor-marked version and maps to multiple awarding organisations to enable you to choose which awarding organisation you would like to use for the external examinations.

Our Functional Skills learning resources can be delivered via:

Weekly Virtual
Sessions

Classrooms or
Adult Skills Centres

(indepedent study)

All accessible through our powerful LMS called EQUAL.
