What is the difference between functional skills maths lv 2 and maths GCSE? I know the latter is 90hrs vs 45hrs for functional maths. Thanks
Answer:
Hi Wendy
There are quite a few differences, but generally speaking the GCSE is much longer due to the number of additional topics. You can only take the exam twice a year in May and November. Functional skills you can take all year round. Functional skills only goes to a grade C/level 4 which is what is needed for most jobs and University applications. GCSE goes up to A*/ level 9. GCSE exams have to be sat in person in a centre and there are 3 exams. FS can be done online.

MME

MME
I need this qualification by the end of this month. When is the earliest I can achieve and is it completely free after paying the £15 cost price ?
Answer:
Hi Mabby
The course is £15 but you would have to pay extra for the exam. Unless you go to College for 9 months then this is the only way to get it free. If you want to pass within this month then there is no free option I am afraid. In order to get your results back in time you would need to book ASAP as the exam boards close for Christmas so you may not be able to get your results back in time unless you book now.
Regards
MME
I see this course is £15, reduced from £500, is this including the exam fee?
Answer:

What is the total cost of the course + certificate?
Answer:
Hi Matthew
It depends what exam date you select but the cheapest option which is booking around 8 weeks in advance is £165 for exam and certificate. The course is usually £199 but is significantly discounted currently on Reed.

The course is on offer for £12, it says exams not included and have to pay separately, how much is the cost?
Answer:
Hi Ranja
All Ofqual regulated exams are around £200 per qualification, any provider claiming to be cheaper than this is unlikely to be Ofqual regulated which is the thing you must look out for.

Hi Ana
Yes this course gives you the level 2 qualification that is Ofqual regulated and accepted by University course providers. We are extremely busy towards the end of the year and the start of next so if you require the qualification in a hurry, I would advise booking sooner to ensure you can get your exam booked in early if needed.
If I want to do maths and English functional skills both,level 1&2 and exams included,how much will it cost?
Answer:
Hi Pree
For both level 1 & 2 to be included it would be £450 but there would be no benefit to doing this, as the level 1 is simply a stepping stone to level 2, so you may as well revise for level 2 and take that exam as it is a GCSE equivalent qualification
If you fail the exam, are you able to re-sit it? Does this cost extra?
Is the cost of the exam included in the price of the course?
Answer:
You can resit and we reduce the cost of the exam and also provide additional support in the form of an expert tutor to ensure you pass your next attempt. The cost of the course is included in the exam fee.
When can you take the exam the earliest? and how do you access course material etc

Hi
What happens if you fail the test? Can you take it again and does it cost? Also do you do mock exams?
Answer:
Hi,
Usually when sitting the exams all providers have to charge for resits as we incur the same costs again, however I know that we will be introducing a new offer for the month of October only where we offer totally free resits to anyone who has paid for their exam between now and the end of October. You can pay now and book in your attempt at anytime, as long as you give us 1 weeks notice, and you will qualify for a free resit. Please keep this message as evidence of the offer.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.
An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
