At Bristol Tutor Company, we make sure all of our learners are given the best support and recommend the best qualification for them. Functional skills level 2 equivalent qualifications are the perfect alternative to a GCSE if a learner is struggling with them. They are equal to a GCSE grade C which is often mandatory for most employers. They are most commonly used to get into University or to complete an apprenticeship. We make sure we offer the best qualification for our learners by understanding their situation, this is most of the time by advising the functional skills exam as people find it easier to pass, we normally recommend the functional skills level 2 equivalents but sometimes the actual GCSE is the option to take.
The level 2 maths equivalent course consists of around 35 topics which is condensed compared to the GCSE. Until a basic understanding is built it may seem overwhelming but confidence will soon grow. We recommend that once a learner has this knowledge that they test themselves to ensure they are ready for their final exam. This exam can be sat from home via an Ofqual regulated exam board which makes it a lot more accessible than the GCSE.
The level 2 English equivalent is particularly popular with international students who haven’t achieved a grade C at GCSE or have not had the chance to sit yet. Also if a learner hasn’t achieved a grade C or level 4 in GCSE English Language then the functional skills level 2 equivalent will be essential for further education and most job applications.
Whether it is the functional skills level 2 maths and english equivalents you need support with, or any other subject, please feel free to contact us today and we will be happy to help.
