Course programme
Having a good command of the English Language shows your employer, colleagues and potential clients that you are professional, proactive and productive in all situations where English is being spoken. Having good literacy skills are essential for the modern workplace and employers are increasingly looking for employees who are literate and can prove this with a relevant and up-to-date qualification. This English Functional Skills Course provides essential communication skills, knowledge and understanding to enable students to function confidently and effectively at work and in their everyday life. Supported by the government as part of their drive to ensure that the United Kingdom workforce has the necessary skills for the country to be competitive, English functional skills help learners to use what they have learnt in a practical way to be literate. English Functional Skills are, therefore, about developing your ability to communicate effectively through speaking and listening, reading and writing which is then transferable to other areas of learning, life and work. This would include things like speaking and listening, reading and writing. Why Choose the Learning Station?
