At Leicester Tutor Company, we help all of our students with their studies. One of these studies are the increasingly popular  functional skills courses. These are maths and English equivalent exams that can be used to get into University, get onto and finish apprenticeships and better your employment chances. No matter whatever your plans are, whether it is to go into the police, be a teacher or a nurse, these  functional skills courses are going to be essential for these applications if you do not already have a GCSE. 

 

There are many services that offer a functional skills course but when you are purchasing a course you need to ensure it is Ofqual regulated. The maths and English courses that we recommend here are always Ofqual regulated and have proved effective. As part of the curriculum, you will complete a number of exercises and practice and exam questions. You will also have access to tutorials that clearly explain the topics.
