Key Units

Please note - applicants will be invited to an assessment by our English Tutors, following this they will be allocated to one of the following qualifications:

Functional Skills English

Functional Skills English will help you to feel more confident in using the English language for every day activities. You will develop your speaking, reading and writing skills through a variety of tasks.

GCSE English Language

A GCSE in English Language should ensure that students can read fluently and write effectively. They should be able to demonstrate a confident control of Standard English and they should be able to write grammatically correct sentences, deploy figurative language and analyse texts.

Entry Requirements

Assessment
