The course runs for 55 hours and is designed for people who don't yet hold a qualification at this level. You'll have an initial assessment to confirm Entry Level 2 Functional Skills English is the right starting point, and the centre will use it to plan your learning.

Who this course is for

This course is designed for people looking to improve their English skills and currently do not have a recognised qualification at Entry Level 2. It will also help to improve employability, communication and anaylsis skills, which are helpful in all areas.

Entry requirements

  • You'll spell common words and use basic punctuation correctly.
  • You'll listen and respond to straightforward spoken information.

How you will learn

You'll study in a classroom at Workpays Coventry, with daytime sessions on a flexible schedule. Learning is practical and activity-based, covering reading, writing, and communication tasks. Assessment is through set tasks that test each skill area. There is no written exam in the traditional sense; you complete tasks that are marked against the qualification standard.
