Course Information
English Level 2
Course Overview
The qualifications are based on the Department for Education’s Functional Skills Subject Content which were derived from the National Standards for Functional Skills Qualifications. Functional Skills provide a foundation for progression into and within employment or further education and develop skills for everyday life.
There are three skills areas in the Subject Content, common to Level 1 and Level 2:
• Reading.
• Writing.
• Speaking, Listening and Communicating.
The assessments for the qualifications provide learners with the opportunity to demonstrate their achievement of practical skills as well as the underpinning knowledge and understanding.
The NOCN Functional Skills qualifications in English at Level 1 and Level 2 aim to equip learners with the skills and confidence to apply and adapt their English knowledge and skills to situations in their life and work in a range of contexts and for various purposes. These qualifications require learners to successfully achieve summative assessment tasks for Reading, Writing and Speaking, Listening and Communication. Learners can take these when they have undergone a relevant teaching and learning programme that covers the skills criteria in their entirety at either Level 1 or Level 2 and have developed the appropriate skills ready for assessment.
Learners need to achieve a pass at the same level in each of the three components to achieve a full Functional Skills qualification in English at Level 1 or Level 2. Some exemptions may apply, please see the Reasonable Adjustment and Special Considerations guide.
