About this course

Free Entry Level 2 Functional Skills English in Dudley. Classes run at Nova Training Netherton. You'll have an initial assessment to confirm this is the right level for you, and the centre will use it to plan your learning. Over 13 weeks of full-time daytime study, you'll develop reading, writing, and communication skills and practise applying them in everyday situations. This course is open to learners aged 16 to 18.

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.

Entry requirements

Must be aged 16 to 18

What you will learn

  • You'll read and understand short texts on familiar topics.
  • You'll write clearly for simple, everyday purposes.
  • You'll spell and punctuate common words correctly.
  • You'll follow and take part in straightforward conversations.
  • You'll identify the main points in spoken and written information.
  • You'll apply your English skills in practical, real-life contexts.

How you will learn

You'll study in a classroom at Nova Training Netherton. Learning is a mix of teacher-led sessions and practice tasks. Assessment is through a formal written exam and a speaking and listening assessment, both set by City and Guilds. Your tutor will prepare you for both components during the course.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. Nova Training Netherton will confirm anything else you need before you start.

Where next

Jobs you could do

  • Customer service assistant: clear written and spoken English is essential.
  • Retail sales assistant: reading, writing, and communication used daily.
  • Care assistant: documentation and talking with clients requires solid English.
  • Warehouse operative: reading instructions and completing records.
  • Receptionist: writing messages, emails, and handling enquiries.
  • Catering assistant: following written instructions and communicating with colleagues.

What you could study next

Once you complete Entry Level 2, you can move on to the Functional Skills Qualification in English (Entry Level 3), then Level 1, and then Level 2. Level 2 is the recognised GCSE English equivalent and is accepted by employers and colleges in place of a GCSE grade 4. Each step builds directly on the last.
