What the college says

United Learning offer whole year funded courses of English Functional Skills from Entry Level 2 to Level 2. You will study a range of English skills – reading, writing, speaking and listening – based upon real-life settings. Do you need to update your CV? Did you not achieve your English qualification through school? Are you 19 years old or over? Functional skills are practical skills in English that allow learners to work confidently, effectively and independently in life. These courses are not suitable for learning English as a foreign language. The classes are generally small, delivered to suit your starting point and assessments are offered through City and Guilds after 55 hours teaching. You will need to complete an initial assessment prior to starting the course.
