You will be given an initial assessment to check your starting point and determine your suitability for this course. If you are unsuccessful in securing a place on GCSE English Language due to gaps in knowledge, you may be guided towards enrolling in Functional Skills English. As this is an intensive course, your attendance for 6 hours each week over two days is mandatory and you must complete additional work outside of class time.
Assessment of your progress is throughout the course. However, you will be assessed by two externally marked exams in May/June. It’s important to note that these dates are fixed and set nationally, so they cannot be changed.
A GCSE in English is demanded by many employers and can improve your employability prospects, university opportunities and life in general.
