What the college says

The aim of the NOCN Functional Skills qualification in English at Entry 1, 2 and 3 are to equip learners with the skills and confidence to apply their English knowledge to every day functional situations in life and work. Functional Skills objectives are to develop the learners’ abilities and to apply and transfer skills in ways that are appropriate to their situation. The assessments therefore focus on functionality and the application of skills as articulated by the Functional Skills criteria in English.
