This 30 week
Functional Skills Level 2 English qualification 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 improve your overall
writing ability by working on articles, blogs, emails, letters, reports, and other written texts. In addition,
spelling, punctuation and grammar are key to Level 2 success and are covered throughout the course. You will also complete a
Speaking, Listening and Communication assessment as part of this qualification. Our awarding body is
City & Guilds.
It requires a high level of commitment. Success relies on the ability to complete a significant amount of homework tasks, attend all taught sessions and to have strong Level 1 English skills.
This qualification is an alternative to GCSE. A level 2 pass is equivalent to a Grade 4 pass in GCSE English Language and is an acceptable alternative for the majority of job/course requirements. The 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.
