TARGET AUDIENCE

 
 

Tutors/ Trainers/ Teachers/ Practitioners delivering Functional Skills who feel confident with their own Functional Skills English to Level 2 and supporting learners with their development towards successful completion of Functional Skills English end assessment.

Delegates would typically be employed within organisations that deliver Functional Skills English to Apprentices where vocational delivery teams/staff do not feel confident to support learners with their English development or where capacity for more confident delivery and integration of English into programmes.

Typically organisations delivering Apprenticeships where English is supported as part of the main programme and capacity with English subject specialists does not fully meet the demand will benefit e.g. Independent Training Providers/ Colleges/ Employer Providers

Please note that these workshop sessions are updated from the successful face to face workshops completed in 2019 with a slight shift to support online delivery, as well as face to face.
