Functional Skills
At Pearson TQ, we deliver functional skills training in English, maths and ICT at Levels 1 and 2 to more than 8,000 learners up and down the country every year.
But, because we know that there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to learning, we tailor our training programmes to the individual needs of both our clients and our learners.
Each of our courses are designed following extensive consultations with our training partners, so that we can get an overview of their requirements. We can service functional skills in a three-stage approach:
- BKSB diagnostic assessment
- Curriculum delivery
- Final assessment
A compulsory requirement
Functional Skills are a compulsory requirement for all apprentices who do not hold a GCSE or Level 2 equivalent qualification in English language and maths.
This would most likely be relevant for learners that are looking to undertake a Level 3 or Level 5 apprenticeship programme.

Experts in education
Our team of functional skills tutors is made up of education professionals who are all specialists in their field.
They’re required to meet exacting military standards, which are a cut above the qualifications that a standard tutor is required to have.
They’re also dedicated to pushing students to the best of their ability, with many learners encouraged to take Level 2 on their apprenticeship, even though they are only required to achieve Level 1.
What our learners say
We’ve already built up an impressive track record with our existing clients, including in our work with the UK Government and the armed forces.
But don’t just take our word for it - some of our Royal Engineers learners have told us what makes our training so special.
What I have learnt here within one week is beyond what I ever thought I was going to learn.
I wish I had been taught at school how I was taught here. Maybe I would have learnt a lot more and got much better grades.
Teachers were the best I have had and I learnt more than I ever did at school.
I liked the opportunity to get skills transferable to the civilian world.
