• read and understand everyday texts such as leaflets, letters, instructions, etc and then respond appropriately. This could apply to working out which train to catch to reach a specific destination, to organising a series of tasks in the workplace.
• analyse how ideas and information are presented
• write to inform and, at Level 2, to persuade
• write accurately, without errors
• make a presentation and contribute to discussions

The notable lack of vocational relevancy in Functional Skills classes was recently identified by Ofsted in their report into the provision for education and skills in the learning and skills sector.

“Classroom based lessons did not link sufficiently with the vocational area and they often failed to motivate learners to work on their skills.  Showing learners the relevance of these skills to the subject they are studying is the key to success.”

 The report of Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Education, Children’s Services and Skills: Learning and skills,  November 2012
