About this course

Free Functional Skills English Level 2 in Stoke-on-Trent. Classes run at E.Quality Training Hanley Training Centre. This level 2 functional skills english course covers reading, writing, speaking, and listening in everyday, workplace, and academic contexts.

You'll have an initial assessment before you start to make sure the level is right for you.

Who this course is for

The Functional Skills Level 2 English course is designed to provide learners with the essential skills to communicate effectively in both written and spoken English, at a level that is widely recognised by employers and further education providers. This course focuses on developing the skills needed to read, write, speak, and listen with confidence and clarity in everyday situations, the workplace, and academic settings.

Entry requirements

There are no formal entry requirements for the Functional Skills Level 2 English course. However, learners should ideally have completed Functional Skills Level 1 English or have equivalent knowledge and skills. It is recommended that learners have a good basic understanding of reading, writing, and speaking English before beginning this course.
