Assess your current level and get started
A Level 2 functional skills qualification is equivalent to a GCSE grade C/4 and is often required for many entry-level jobs in the UK. Unlike GCSEs, functional skills exams are available throughout the year, offering more flexibility. This is useful for adults who need qualifications quickly. We offer exams from Monday to Saturday at various times to fit your schedule.
Before starting a maths or English functional skills course, we recommend taking our initial assessment to determine your level and choose the right course. If you already need a Level 2 qualification, you can enroll directly. Your level will be updated during the course based on your performance in practice questions, topic tests, and mock exams, so you’ll know when you’re ready for the exam.
Start your revision with our bespoke online courses
The online functional skills courses are organized into clear topic areas based on the government curriculum. Each topic includes video tutorials, practice questions, and topic tests to help with learning and revision. Start with expert-led videos that cover key concepts and strategies. Then, test your knowledge with practice questions and topic tests similar to the final exam. Every question has a written or video solution to guide you.
Mock exams are an important part of our courses, offering practice with exam-like questions. Full mock exams for major exam boards include an ‘exam mode’ option to simulate real exam conditions with a timer. All mocks feature written and video solutions, and our Maths and English mocks use AI for instant feedback. This support makes your revision more effective and prepares you for the exam more quickly.
