English and Maths (Stepping Stones to Functional Skills)

Brand new for 2019/2020 academic year!

Our English and Maths (Stepping Stones to Functional Skills) are mapped to the newly reformed Functional Skills subject content.

We have developed these qualifications to help learners build confidence and to really focus in on specific skills to enable them to progress onto the new Functional Skills.

These qualifications reflect the increased challenge of the reformed Functional Skills and therefore fully prepare learners for progression onto Functional Skills.

The qualifications are broken down into individual bite-sized units to help learners ‘bridge the gap', become confident in their ability and allow progression onto Functional Skills.

We currently offer Level 1 in English and Maths with the Entry Levels to follow later in the academic year.
