Functional Skills

NOCN is piloting Entry Level English, mathematics and ICT Functional Skills qualifications.  NOCN has developed qualifications at Entry 1, Entry 2 and Entry 3 to cater for differentiated achievement at Entry Level. From January 2010 NOCN will be offering Level 1 and 2 English, mathematics and ICT Functional Skills qualifications, for more information please contact your local OCN.

The Functional Skills qualifications will provide a platform to further achievement through the development of fundamental, applied skills in each key subject area. The Functional Skills qualifications are designed to assess the development of skills in practical everyday contexts and real life situations.

Functional Skills qualifications will provide a coherent progression pathway in the Foundation Learning Tier (FLT).
