Functional Skills ICT Level 1 and 2

Functional skills in ICT are assessed by a single computer-based test at Levels 1 and 2. You can find the specification, sample assessment materials and further guidance below.
 
For information on functional skills at Entry 1-3, visit our Entry Level Functional Skills pages.

Assessment that meets learners' needs - now available on-demand
We’ve improved our functional skills ICT assessment so that it better meets the needs of all learners. It’s a truly functional assessment, using the software learners use every day. Benefits include:

  • Book tests at any time of year
  • Download and upload test material electronically
  • Download tests 24 hours beforehand
  • Results turnaround which matches our onscreen on-demand offer for English and maths
  • Resits available on the same day as results are released.

Step-by-step administration support
To support you through the assessment process, we've developed step-by-step videos (see the links below) and a detailed User Guide (under 'Administration and Assessment' in the documents box below). These guides will take you through the full process from registering your learner and booking a test to uploading the learner's evidence.
