About this course

The aims of these qualifications are to develop learner understanding and skills in:

Representing – selecting the mathematics and information to model a situation.
Analysing – processing and using mathematics.
Interpreting – interpreting and communication the results of the analysis.

They are stand-alone qualifications in their own right, but they're also embedded within GCSEs, and are a component of the 14-19 Diploma and the Foundation Learning suite of qualifications. In addition, functional skills are a mandatory part of the BTEC Apprenticeships framework.

The Fee for Functional Skills tests at NLC is:

English (Speaking, Listening and Communication) - £100
English (Reading and Writing) - £100
Maths - £100
ICT - £100

Tests are available on demand and can be taken when learners are ready. Results will be available via Edexcel Online within four weeks of Edexcel receiving the test file. Candidates can be entered to resit on the same day that the initial results are received, or as soon as they are ready. Tests can be taken in a non-traditional exam environment, making the tests more engaging for some learners.
