Here at Bristol Tutor Company, we ensure all of our students are given the help and support they need with their studies no matter their academic capabilities. Over the past few years, we have drawn our attention to supporting learners getting onto a functional skills course.  We find out about our learners before recommending a course to them so we can understand which is the best option for them and their current lifestyle. Often our students just need a qualification as quickly as possible as they need to meet a deadline for a job or university.

 

Typically, Functional skills courses are edited for those who have not yet acquired GCSE qualifications previously and now need them to progress in their careers. These accolades are offered at different levels from entry-level to level 2 and can be taken in multiple ways, most commonly in the online format which is usually sat at home. 

 

Functional skills courses may be taught through a mix of classroom-based learning, practise exercises and assessments but many of the students sitting the exam do not have time for this. For this reason the online option is taken by most as it offers the most flexibility. The courses cover a wide range of topic areas but fewer than the GCSE. The style of the level 2 qualifications will also help you improve everyday skills that you will take with you after the qualification.

 

We at Bristol Tutor Company support all of our learners in finishing the right functional skills course for them. We provide expert tuition that has proved to be effective in the past and has had great reviews. If you are looking for a tutor or have any questions about the courses, please feel free to get in touch.
