About this course

Free Entry Level 2 Functional Skills English in Kettering. Classes run at Workpays Kettering. You'll start with an initial assessment to confirm this is the right level for you. The course covers reading, writing, speaking, and listening, and builds the communication skills that employers look for across most types of work. It takes around 55 hours of daytime study.

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 do not currently hold any English qualifications and have a desire to achieve a recognised qualification.

What you will learn

How you will learn

You'll study in a classroom at Workpays Kettering, with flexible daytime attendance. Learning is practical and task-based, covering reading, writing, speaking, and listening activities. Assessment is through tasks set by City and Guilds, completed during the course. There is no formal written exam at Entry Level 2; you'll be assessed on your ability to complete real reading and writing tasks at this level.
