Fast Track Functional Skills

Fast track functional skills can sometimes be a required step that people have to take to progress onto higher education or a new job. Not having a maths or english qualification is a barrier that can stop people from taking on new opportunities, which is why at Courses and Exams we support learners through the whole process to gain the qualifications they need. 

Our service for fast track functional skills enables students to schedule their exam and take it within a few days, providing unparalleled flexibility. The exam can be reserved either by contacting our support team directly or through our online platform. These exams are authorised by Ofqual and are widely accepted by employers, with an equivalence to a GCSE grade C or Level 4, often a mandatory requirement for various things during work or education. 

It’s worth noting that the revision period for the fast track functional skills exam is shorter, and thus it is crucial to start with a pre-assessment to identify areas that require more attention. Once identified, these areas should be studied thoroughly before attempting practice questions and applying the knowledge to exam papers. Before taking the exam, it is vital to practise past papers from your exam board to familiarise yourself with the format and style of questions, which may vary depending on which exam board you are sitting the exam through. 

If fast track functional skills is something that interests you, or you just have a question, we are happy to help at Courses and Exams.
