About this course

Free Entry Level 1 Functional Skills English Course in Rotherham. Classes run at Landmarks Rotherham, with a mix of online study and time at the centre. This blended approach lets you fit learning around your life while keeping face-to-face support close by. The course runs full-time during the day and typically takes one year. You'll build your reading, writing, and communication skills at Entry Level 1. An initial assessment confirms this is the right starting point for you.
