Description:
This 30-week Functional Skills English Level 1 course is designed to develop your communication skills for the modern world, for future learning and work opportunities. You will develop reading skills, with a focus on understanding different text types and their meaning. Also, you will develop your writing ability by working on narratives, instructions, emails, letters, reports and other written texts. In addition, spelling, punctuation and grammar are key to Level 1 success and are covered throughout the course. You will also complete a Speaking, Listening and Communication assessment as part of this qualification.
This course leads to an accredited Level 1 qualification from City & Guilds. This qualification is usually taken by those whose first language is English, but learners with fluent skills who speak English as an additional language may also benefit from the course. It is only for learners who do not already have a GCSE or equivalent pass grade in English (C/ 4 or above) - your learning will be free as a result.

Most of our courses are subsidised either wholly or in part by the Adult Skills Fund (ASF). The ASF require us to collect information about our learners to monitor how their funding is being spent and to gauge the effectiveness of our equality and diversity policy. You will therefore be asked to submit further enrolment data once you have booked your place. We only collect data that is required by the ASF, and use it in line with our privacy notice. We may not be able to offer you a place on our courses if you're unable to provide us with the required information. We endeavour to continue to provide free and subsidised courses for the people of Worcestershire. We thank you for your cooperation.
Please Note: To enrol on this course you must register your interest first. One of our staff will then contact you to ensure suitability. At which point we will confirm your booking.
