Ensuring all of our learners progress with their studies is a priority for us here at Newcastle Tutor Company. We have most recently been helping students out with their functional skills courses as they are becoming more popular. These courses are perfect for those who have not already obtained a GCSE grade C or level 4 in maths and English. The qualification is most often used to get onto a university course or for higher education but i t can also be used to enhance employment chances. The functional skills courses are essential for most applications, especially those like policing and nursing.
There are many different functional skills course providers but you need to make sure that you choose one that is Ofqual regulated or the qualification may not be recognised.. The courses that we recommended receive excellent feedback from our previous learners. The course gives you access to revision materials like practise questions and exercises. You will also have access to video tutorials that will explain how to complete each exercise.
