Level 1 Functional Skills English

At Barnardo’s we aspire to inspire learners with the Functional Skills qualification, as this prepares young people for their future. The course will enable learners to contribute further to scenarios at work, as it will prepare them to understand and participate in discussions, interpret pieces of writing and instructions, as well as helping them to put their point across clearly.
