Our courses are informal, friendly and convenient for parents and carers to gain nationally recognised qualifications and as your skills grow, you will feel more confident and able to help your child. Functional Skills qualifications are recognised by employers, colleges and universities if you want to find work or move on in education.
The course will be held in your local community within your school or children’s centre. You may already come to the venue to take and collect your child, so you won’t need to worry about the time or cost of travel to attend the course.
