Functional Skills English and Maths are requested to start an apprenticeship or to progress in any kind of position; they provide people of all education levels with accessible skills to improve reading, writing and communications, allow a better understanding of numbers and mathematical concepts, and are one of the most popular qualifications taken by adult learners.
In the primary care sector, employees or new starters wishing to undertake an apprenticeship pathway will need to have a recognised GCSE or GCSE-equivalent qualification such as a Level 2 Functional Skills qualification to apply.
