What you will learn

  • You'll read and understand short, straightforward texts on familiar topics.
  • You'll write simple sentences using basic punctuation and spelling.
  • You'll communicate clearly in everyday situations, in writing and in speech.
  • You'll follow and give simple instructions and information.
  • You'll identify the main points in a short piece of writing.
  • You'll use basic grammar to make your meaning clear.

How you will learn

You'll learn in a classroom at Dukeries Campus, with a tutor guiding each session. Assessment is through set tasks that test your reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills. These tasks are completed as part of the course and marked against the Entry Level 2 standard. There is no formal written exam in the traditional sense; assessment is task-based and tied to the skills covered in class.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. Dukeries Campus will confirm anything else you need before you start.

Where next

Jobs you could do

  • Retail assistant: reading labels, writing notes, serving customers.
  • Care assistant: following written instructions, recording basic information.
  • Warehouse operative: reading safety signs and simple instructions.
  • Cleaner or caretaker: understanding written rotas and basic forms.
  • Kitchen assistant: following written recipes and hygiene guidance.
  • School support worker: communicating clearly with staff and pupils.

What you could study next

Once you complete Entry Level 2, you could move on to the Functional Skills Qualification in English (Entry Level 3), which develops your skills further. After that, Functional Skills English Level 1 and then Level 2 are the natural next steps. Level 2 is the recognised GCSE English alternative that many employers and colleges ask for. Each level builds on the last, so you progress at a pace that suits you.
