Functional Skills Development in English, Maths and ICT

Colchester Institute offers Functional Skills courses in English and Maths for adult (19+) learners. These programmes provide learning opportunities ranging from Entry Level to Level 2 qualifications, and all our courses lead to nationally recognised qualifications. Courses are designed to build confidence, aid career development or to help you get back into work.

To support individuals to successfully complete their English and/or mathematic qualifications we offer functional skills via a number of methods to suit your learning style.

For those looking to attend fixed sessions, there are options to study weekly in the classroom at our Colchester Campus or over zoom. Those looking to learn at their own pace can study through our Adult Skills Centres, either independently online or in our Adult Skills Centres, where teachers are on hand to support you along the way. If you wish, you can continue to work independently from home to gain your qualifications more quickly.
