Join our functional skills team this February and March to start preparing for the live launch of our engaging new qualification. These free, half-day events will provide you with the information you need to make the right choice for you and learners. 

In order to address your centres’ needs, we will be running separate events for schools and local authority advisors and for work-based learning and FE colleges.

At these events our experienced functional skills team will:

  • provide you with an overview of our engaging new qualifications for functional English, mathematics and ICT
  • show you how functional skills fits into your current curriculum models and the qualifications you offer, including the new core GCSEs for 2010, Apprenticeships and the Diploma
  • take you through the accreditation timeline and key dates going forward - including for colleges, the impact of this on key skills
  • provide an update on our successful pilot programme that has seen over 120,000 entries
  • talk you through the details of our excellent support services and forthcoming published resources.

You'll also be able to hear about case study centres, gain knowledge of best practice delivery and ask any key questions.
