The Functional Skills qualifications are Ofqual approved, which means they are universally accepted by: employers, apprenticeships, and universities. The qualification is equivalent to a GCSE PASS/Grade C/Level 4; they are extremely beneficial if your desired job or educational course requires a passing grade at GCSE. You can find a variety of Functional Skills providers; here at Newcastle Tutors, we recommend Pass Functional Skills. You can sit your exam with them and access their revision resources.
We aim to help learners develop and further their knowledge and skills in preparation for their Functional Skills exams. You may find achieving your qualification challenging; our expert tutors are here to help! In the tutoring sessions, our team can help you find the revision materials best suited to you; they can help you prepare for the exam day and advise you on how to maximise your revision time. When accessing revision materials, we suggest that you do not use any resources from before 2019. The curriculum was revised, meaning that anything prior to 2019 will not be as relevant.
Functional Skills services such as exams and revision materials are now online. This allows you to revise for your exams from home, and sit your exam at home too! Obtaining your qualifications from home means that you can have minimal distractions, and you will be surrounded by a familiar environment. Just like an in-person exam, your Functional Skills exams will need to be sat under exam conditions. You will be on a video call with an Ofqual approved invigilator who will make sure the requirements are met and maintained, and they will be there to help you with any issues that may arise.
We can help you find a trusted Functional Skills provider, provide you with one-on-one tutoring sessions, and set you up with all the revision materials you will need! Please contact Newcastle Tutor Company if you need further help or information about the Functional Skills qualification.
