About the course
The Adult Maths & English department offers a range of high quality teaching options to suit all expectations and lifestyles. Whether you left education early or didn't get the grades, we are on hand to help you achieve success.
This is an intensive 1 week Functional skills class, for learners to take their L1 or L2 in a week. The class runs Monday - Friday 930-430pm daily. You will be required to attend all 5 days and the exam will take place on day 5.
We appreciate the intensive approach does not work for everyone which is why we have weekly classes which will start again in September, either face to face or online.
