Introduction to Functional Skills in Plymouth

The Functional Skills Level 2 qualifications are equivalent to a GCSE Grade C/Level 4, as they are Ofqual approved, they are recognized by many companies and universities across the UK. With this qualification, your employability levels increase, and you can use it to gain access to different courses, including Policing, Nursing, and Teaching. The GCSE examinations only occur in May and November, which can limit your university or job applications, whereas the Functional Skills exams take place all year round. Many learners find the Functional Skills exam easy as the content is more relatable and reflects real-life scenarios. Additionally, the Functional Skills Level 2 content list has less subject matter than the GCSEs, which means you can manage your revision time more effectively.
