Adult English Course

A broad overview of the course involves three main topics:

• Reading
• Writing
• Speaking, Listening and Communication

To achieve Functional Skills, you will need to complete a reading paper, a writing paper and an in-class speaking and listening assessment.

To achieve GCSE English Language, you will sit two papers: Non-Fiction and Contemporary Texts.

There are no entry requirements for this course, but you will be required to sit a short assessment at interview to assess your level.

Written examination. For Functional Skills, we use City and Guilds as our exam board. For GCSE English, we use the Pearson 2.0 specification.

Please contact the college for funding information.

You may progress within Functional Skills or onto GCSE English. It may also be possible to progress onto other college courses or use your qualification to gain employment.
