Functional Skills qualifications are an Ofqual-approved GCSE equivalent. If you did not receive a Pass/Grade C/Level 4 at GCSE, then you can use a Functional Skills qualification to apply to universities and job roles. Additionally, if you do not have a GCSE grade, this qualification is a great way to expand your CV. You can find many Functional Skills providers, we would personally recommend Pass Functional Skills. They are a professional provider that offers the Functional Skills exams as well as, a range of in-depth revision materials.
We strive to help our learners develop and expand their skills in Maths and English. Getting your Functional Skills qualifications can be challenging for some. Here at Leeds Tutors, we have skilled tutors for both, Maths and English. In these tutoring sessions, you can get advice on how to revise effectively and exam day preparation! Revision and exams are now an online service due to the pandemic, which means you can prepare for and sit the exam from the comfort of your own home with no distractions or stress you might get in an exam hall. It is important to note – exam conditions must be maintained, just like they would in a centre. An Ofqual invigilator will be monitoring the exam to ensure that these requirements are met and help with any potential issues.
You can find a number of revision materials at Pass Functional Skills, all of which are carefully curated to provide you with the best tools to help you pass. Please be aware that the curriculum was revised and altered in 2019. Subsequently, any revision materials released prior to this – no matter the provider, may not be useful to you.
At Leeds Tutor Company, our goal is to help all of our learners prepare for their Functional Skills qualifications. To do this, we provide our students with all the resources they need to pass! If you are looking for advice on exam providers, revision materials, or if you want to attend tutoring sessions, you can contact Leeds Tutors – we are more than happy to help!
