About this course

Free Entry Level 1 Functional Skills English in Dudley. Classes run at Nova Training Netherton. This course is open to learners aged 16 to 18.

Over 13 weeks of full-time daytime study, you'll develop core English skills and learn to apply them in everyday situations. This entry level functional skills english course covers reading, writing, speaking, and listening.

Who this course is for

The Functional Skills qualifications are intended for anyone wishing to develop their maths and English. They focus on both the underpinning skills as well as the ability to apply maths and English to different contexts.

You'll learn through classroom-based sessions at Nova Training Netherton. Assessment includes a written task and a speaking and listening task. These are set and marked by City and Guilds. You'll be assessed on your ability to use English in practical, real-life contexts, not just on knowledge of rules.
