Guided Learning Number of
55 30
Hours (GLH) Sessions
About this qualification:
The purpose of this scheme is to give an outline of the content that should be delivered. These sessions can be stand-alone or
integrated with other sessions; however, time would need to be allocated in order for the skill/content to be embedded.
Some sessions may need longer depending on time allocations and learners.
Phonics should be embedded throughout and used as a way of sounding out words for both reading and spelling.
Aims of the unit:

A key aim for Functional Skills English specifications is that they should enable the learner to develop confidence and fluency in, and a
positive attitude towards, English. Learners should be able to demonstrate their competence in English by using it in real-world situations
as well as demonstrating a sound grasp of basic English knowledge and skills.
The purpose of Functional Skills English Entry Level qualifications are to demonstrate the ability at an appropriate level to read, write,
speak, listen and communicate in English, and to apply this knowledge and these skills in familiar situations.
Functional Skills English at this level indicates that learners should be able to speak, listen, communicate, read and write
clearly, accurately, confidently and with effectiveness.
