Free Entry Level 3 Functional Skills English in Beverley. Classes run at Flemingate Centre, with daytime sessions that fit around other commitments. You'll build your reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills at Entry Level 3. The course runs over roughly eight months part-time. When employers ask for GCSE English or equivalent, a functional skills english qualification is the recognised route. Completing Level 2 later puts you on the same footing as a GCSE grade 4. Entry Level 3 is the step that gets you ready for that. You'll sit an assessment at the start so the centre can confirm this is the right level for you.
