If you are 16-18 and studying a full-time programme at the college, our aim is to ensure you leave having achieved the best English and Maths grades you can. Classes fit in with your main study programme. You will be in a group that is at the right level, based on your prior experience and grades. All students will work towards the equivalent of grade 4/5 (grade C) or above at GCSE.

If you are over 19, looking to continue your education, or have been out of full-time education for some time, then we have part-time courses in Functional Skills English and Maths from Entry Level to Level 2, including GCSE. These will develop speaking, reading, writing and functional Maths.

There are no entry requirements. You will need to undertake an initial assessment to match you to an appropriate level. We take account of prior formal qualifications.

Functional Skills courses are run over 3 terms in the daytime or evening. You will be able to progress onto a higher level in the subject studied on successful completion.

All courses will have a final exam/controlled assessment at the end, with certificates of achievement provided.
