Adult Basic Skills in Literacy and Numeracy

Adult Literacy and Adult Numeracy qualifications sit under the Skills for Life umbrella.

Often referred to as Adult Basic Skills, they can be taken by learners of any age.

They are nationally recognised, stand alone qualifications that enable learners to gain the basic key skills they require in English and mathematics. The qualifications range from Entry 1 to Level 2.

The area of Skills for Life ranges from helping with children’s homework to report and business letter writing. Courses are designed to help improve reading, writing, spelling, punctuation and grammar or improve maths / number skills.

Courses in Skills for Life are designed to give the necessary confidence and skills to reach individual goals, as well as helping to progress towards further qualifications.
