At Sheffield Tutor Company we strive to support learners of all backgrounds. In the last few years our attention has been directed towards supporting adult learners who are interested in enrolling on to functional skills courses. To find the most suitable course for each learner we assess the specific needs of each student to ensure that they are on a course that also works around other commitments such as work and childcare. In some cases, learners only have a short amount of time to gain these qualifications and need to complete a course and exam for a university or job deadline.
Individuals who didn’t acquire GCSE qualifications in school or wish to boost their qualifications for their career often seek out functional skills courses. These courses are offered at multiple levels, ranging from entry-level to level 2, and can be accessed through various modes of learning, including the increasingly popular online format that yields quicker results and offers greater convenience.
Functional skills courses cover a broad range of topics, such as writing skills for English and percentages for maths. They are usually delivered through a mix of classroom-based learning, practical exercises, and assessments. However, the option of attending college several times a week may not be viable for many people, which is why most learners opt for online learning. These courses not only prepare you for the formal level 2 qualifications but also assist in improving everyday skills that can help you advance in your career.
At Sheffield Tutor Company, we are dedicated to supporting learners in identifying the most appropriate Functional Skills course and providing tuition services to assist them with their learning. Whether you’re studying at college or independently online, we’re here to offer assistance if you require support with a Functional Skills course.
