English and Maths Functional Skills qualifications were designed with the aim of giving individuals the skills they need to be more effective at work, but also in day-to-day tasks. They are transferable qualifications that relate to all industries.
Functional Skills are an essential part of your apprenticeship journey and you will need to pass English and maths at level 2 to complete the programme.
It is important to note that the Functional Skills programme is based around your individual needs, this means the sessions you attend are tailored to the skills you require. We do train Functional Skills in separate sessions from your module days, but the sessions are designed to be relevant to your industry and to the content of your management programme. Similarly, your module days and the assessment plans set by your Quality Coach will incorporate Functional Skills too, so that each part of your apprenticeship links together. This will also mean that you are practising your Functional Skills perhaps without even knowing it!
Yes, absolutely! If you have employees that would benefit from enhancing their formal writing skills, boosting their ability to decode and work with written information, improving their presentation skills or solving real life mathematical problems with confidence, Functional Skills are the qualifications for you.
