About this course

Free Entry Level 3 Functional Skills English Course in Rotherham. Classes run at Landmarks Rotherham, with a mix of online study and time at the centre. This free functional skills english course runs full-time during the day and typically takes one year to complete. You'll build your reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills to Entry Level 3 standard. This is the level below the GCSE English equivalent, making it a strong step toward Level 1 and Level 2 study. You'll sit a City and Guilds assessment at the end.

Who this course is for

These qualifications are for learners of all ages. They are suitable for adults and young people across a wide range of settings. Note these qualifications are only available to centres and learners in England.

Entry requirements

For any learner who has not already achieved this qualification and is working at Entry Level 3 or above and is aged 14 plus.

What you will learn

  • You'll read and understand everyday texts, including signs, forms, and short documents.
  • You'll write clearly for everyday purposes, such as messages, notes, and simple forms.
  • You'll spell common words correctly and use basic punctuation.
  • You'll listen and respond in straightforward conversations and discussions.
  • You'll identify the main points from spoken information.
  • You'll use English in practical, real-life situations.

How you will learn

Learning is blended: some sessions take place at Landmarks Rotherham and some study is completed online. You'll work through reading, writing, speaking, and listening tasks. Assessment is by a set of tasks and a formal written test set by City and Guilds. You must pass both the on-screen or paper test and the skills tasks to earn the qualification.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. Landmarks Rotherham will confirm anything else you need before you start.

Where next

Jobs you could do

  • Customer service assistant: clear written and spoken English is essential
  • Care assistant: reading care plans and writing notes are daily tasks
  • Retail assistant: handling written instructions and communicating with customers
  • Warehouse operative: reading safety signs and completing paperwork
  • Receptionist: writing messages and communicating clearly with visitors
  • Classroom or nursery support assistant: reading and writing used throughout the role

What you could study next

Once you have your Entry Level 3 certificate, you can move on to Functional Skills English Level 1, then Level 2. Level 2 is the recognised GCSE English alternative that many employers and colleges ask for. From there, you could progress to a vocational qualification, an Access to Higher Education Diploma, or an apprenticeship in your chosen field.
