About this course

Free Entry Level 3 Functional Skills English in Telford. Classes run at Nova Training Wellington. You must be aged 16 to 18 to enrol on this course. Over 13 weeks of full-time daytime study, you'll develop your reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills, and practise applying them in everyday situations. This is a recognised entry level functional skills english qualification that employers and colleges understand.

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.

  • You'll speak clearly and listen carefully in discussions and conversations.

How you will learn

You'll learn through classroom-based sessions at Nova Training Wellington, with activities that build both your underpinning English skills and your ability to use them in different contexts. Assessment is through a combination of on-screen or paper-based tests and, where required by the specification, a speaking and listening assessment. City and Guilds sets and marks the assessments.

What you could study next
