A mix of in person and online learning
Things get better with UNISON learning.
UNISON is offering a fantastic learning opportunity for members to learn how to look after your wellbeing.
Functional Skills assess the fundamental skills of English and maths and help to prepare people with the skills that they may need in their working and professional lives. You may be looking to apply for a new role or go for promotion or apply for an apprenticeship / study a new subject. If you cannot confirm you achieved a grade C or above at GCSE, then there may be a need to complete and obtain Functional Skills at a level 2.
All Functional Skills Assessments are graded as either pass or fail. There isn’t any coursework or portfolio-based elements, and the qualification result is based solely on exam papers. For entry-level qualifications, papers are assessed internally. Level 1 and 2 exams can be taken online or as a paper-based assessment. The online exams can be taken on demand whenever the learner feels ready, but paper exams must be completed when the awarding body sets dates.

This course will start Sept – Dec & Jan- March
