How our courses work

We split every topic into bite-size chunks. Maybe that’s commas in a short email or ratios in a cooking recipe. Each lesson contains revision slides and videos, follows up with quick-fire quizzes, then rounds off with exam-style tasks. You’re not just learning rules, you’re practising the exact style of questions you’ll face on the day.

Because it’s English and maths functional skills online, you can pause, rewind, or replay any resource. Got five spare minutes? Knock out a spelling module. Need a deeper dive? Tackle a full practice paper in exam conditions, complete with the on-screen calculator. Our Functional Skills courses have everything you need for success.

 

Real-world confidence boosters

The content of Functional Skills help learners with applying skills to everyday life. That’s why our online maths and English functional skills resources drop you into realistic scenarios: draft a short workplace report, split a restaurant bill, calculate paint coverage for a room makeover. When the exam rolls around, nothing looks strange.

To keep you motivated, the dashboard tracks every quiz mark, highlights your strongest areas, and flags anything that needs another look. Watching those green bars climb can be pretty addictive.

 

Booking the exam

Once you feel ready, jump into the exam booking section inside your account. Pick a date, confirm your webcam works, and you’re good to go. No travel, no hidden fees. Sit the test at home, then kick back while our markers do their thing. A Pass Functional Skills team member will email your result, and your certificate carries the same weight as one earned in a physical test centre.

 

Quick tips for success

Study little and often. Ten-minute bursts beat one monster session that fries your brain.

Mix it up. Watch a video, then tackle an interactive quiz to lock the concept in place.

Teach a friend. Explaining percentages or apostrophes out loud cements the steps in your own mind.

Remember, our tutors sit just a click away if ratios or relative clauses start getting messy.
