  • Functional Skills reform update

    As you may be aware, both Ofqual and the DfE have recently held public consultations regarding the reform of Functional Skills qualifications in English and Maths at all levels. It is intended that the reformed qualifications are available for first teach in September 2019.

    We are fully engaged with both consultations and intend to continue to offer the full provision of reformed Functional Skills. We will keep you updated of intentions and outcomes as they progress.

    Please refer to the centre timeline for more information.

OCR has been at the forefront of developing functional skills assessments. This experience has given us a unique insight into what functionality means to assessment design. This qualification contains one mandatory unit and is externally set and assessed. The qualification is suitable for learners who wish to be recognized for their achievement of a wide range of mathematical skills for use in every day life.

      Maths Boxed

      Online

      Description

      An interactive Functional Skills Maths course for Entry Level 3, Level 1 and Level 2. All the delivery for the qualification is offered through film production, high quality content which sits on an interactive, easy to use platform. The platform alerts tutors if learners are struggling so they can be offered further support, either on a 1-1 basis or through video conferencing (which is also built into the platform). A new way of learning for a new generation of technology focused learners and also for previous generations who have struggled to learn in a traditional way.
