Preparing to co-ordinate and manage functional skills

National teaching and support materials for functional skills have also been developed by QIA.  Four publications are available to support the delivery of functional skills qualifications: Managing delivery; Teaching and learning functional English; Teaching and learning functional mathematics, and; Teaching and learning functional ICT.

The QCDA curriculum website contains guidance and information on delivering functional skills within programmes of study for English, mathematics and ICT at key stages 3 and 4.  This information is designed for schools but may be useful for embedding skills in other learning environments.  In addition, all existing Skills for Life teaching materials and core curricula information can continue to be used to support programme delivery.
