What are functional skills?
Functional Skills are fundamental English and Maths qualifications that people need for their working and personal lives. As an alternative to GCSEs, they allow people to gain access to further and higher education.
Maths and English are the most popular Functional Skills courses, as these level 2 courses are needed for most jobs and university courses if you don’t already hold GCSEs in these subjects. Through these qualifications, you can achieve the equivalent of up to a GCSE level 4, or a C in the old grading system. This means they can be used as an alternative pathway to gaining your English and Maths qualifications, while also having the flexibility to sit the assessment all year round.

With distance learning, you can study the same subjects and qualifications you would in a traditional school or college, from the comfort of your own home instead! It takes the location out of studying. You’ll save time and money on travelling, and if you have other life commitments, such as a full-time or part-time job, or if you have a family to look after, it may help to be able to study at a time that suits you.
There are no physical classes to attend or timetables to stick to. With 24-hour access to your course either online or through a study pack, you can study whenever you have free time (if that’s in the middle of the night it’s possible).
Tutor support
When you study a Functional Skills course with us, you’ll get unlimited, personal tutor support. Your tutor will be on hand to guide you through your course and help with any questions you may have, ensuring you are fully prepared for any examinations if needed. You’ll never be alone. This is just one of the many benefits you’ll get from enrolling with Open Study College.
