Functional Skills Qualifications are essential competencies in English, mathematics, and ICT (Information and Communication Technology) that individuals need for both personal development and to succeed in the workplace. These qualifications focus on practical skills application rather than theoretical knowledge, enabling learners to effectively apply their skills in real-world scenarios.

Additionally, the material is structured to align with the requirements of higher-level apprenticeships, providing learners with the necessary knowledge and expertise to thrive in their chosen fields.
