What the college says

These Functional Skills qualifications allow candidates to demonstrate the fundamental applied skills in English that help people to gain the most from life, learning and work. Candidates should be entered for either Level 1 or Level 2 when they can demonstrate all the skills standards outlined at that level. The specifications have been developed in consultation with practising teachers and subject associations. AQA’s Functional English qualifications have a clear component structure with reading, writing and speaking, listening and communication being assessed in separate tests or tasks. This means that candidates can take the components in different examination series or all in the same series. There are unlimited re-sit opportunities for candidates who do not achieve the required level at the first attempt. AQA’s Functional Skills qualifications are available four times each academic year in November, January, March and June. This gives you the flexibility to plan your course to meet the needs of your curriculum and candidates. AQA’s tests and tasks are based on a range of real life texts, contexts and scenarios in a skills based approach to Functional English.
