A Level 1 Functional Skills course is a nationally recognised qualification designed to help learners develop essential English or Maths skills applicable to real-life situations. It's ideal for individuals aiming to improve their literacy or numeracy for employment, further education, or daily tasks.

Both courses use practical examples to facilitate learning and are designed to be studied online at your own pace.
