Functional Skills

Subject Overview

Build everyday skills and grow in confidence.

Functional Skills in Maths, English and ICT are built into learning across Landmarks, giving learners opportunities to practise these skills in real-life situations.

Rather than learning them in isolation, learners use Maths, English and ICT in different contexts and activities, helping them understand how these skills can be used in everyday life.

The aim is to help learners become more confident, independent and prepared for life beyond college.
