Functional skills

When participants begin a qualification with us, they may be required to complete Functional Skills qualifications in maths and English. These are a mandatory part of apprenticeships in England, unless learners already hold a qualification in these areas at this level.

Functional Skills support learners whilst they navigate their chosen fields. From calculating feed and medication ratios, to communicating effectively with clients and colleagues, these skills are beneficial in many aspects of equine and animal care roles.

For our Alternative Provision courses, Functional Skills are optional.
