About this course

Free Functional Skills English Level 2 in Walsall. Classes run at Nova Training Bloxwich. This course is open to learners aged 16 to 18 and runs full-time during the day, typically over 13 weeks. You'll develop reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills, and learn to apply them across different real contexts. When employers ask for GCSE English or equivalent, a Level 2 functional skills english qualification meets that requirement. You'll have an initial assessment so the centre can confirm this is the right level for you.

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.

What you could study next

Once you have your Level 2 functional skills english certificate, you could move on to a Level 3 qualification in your chosen subject area, such as a BTEC or A Level equivalent. You could also look at vocational qualifications in business administration, health and social care, or childcare, many of which require Level 2 English as an entry condition. If you want to teach English to adults, a CELTA or Level 3 Award in Education and Training would be a natural next step.
