Once you complete Entry Level 3, you can move on to a Functional Skills English Level 1 Course, then a Functional Skills English Level 2 Course. Level 2 is the recognised GCSE english equivalent accepted by most employers and colleges. From there, you could progress to a Level 3 qualification in a subject that interests you, or use your English Certificate to meet entry requirements for vocational training.
