English learning will start with basic reading, writing, speaking and listening skills. It will progress through understanding grammar, punctuation and sentence structure – to developing critical-thinking and text-analysis skills.
Maths courses will cover a range of mathematical techniques. You’ll start by improving your understanding of numbers, fractions and percentages, and move onto applying your knowledge, measuring shape and space, and handling data in practical situations.
Courses are flexible to suit you. Choose to study day or evening, at either our Rush Green or Barking campus. These courses start throughout the year, so when you apply, we'll enrol you onto the next available start date.
Our Functional Skills courses in English and maths run from Entry Level to Level 2. Apply here and we’ll be in touch to invite you in for an initial assessment. This assessment is simply so we can make sure you're studying at the right level.
There are number of routes you can take following successful completion of a course. Further study can include Higher Education courses or a Higher Apprenticeship where you will expand your skills through study whilst earning a wage. Or you may choose to move directly into employment.
