Target Audience  

The training is designed for managers and practitioners delivering Functional English.

Participants who have so far attended Supporting Functional Skills training sessions have told us:

Will definitely help me take forward new ideas for delivering speaking and listening criteria to learners

Really effective training delivered in an animated and engaging way

Lots of concrete examples - can use sample materials in own college

Useful materials that could be used with students and Staff Development

Good clear take home examples to use

Lots of new insight

Lots of advice and ideas, I can use these in my own practice

It gives a clear, informative view of how to deliver and assess Speaking and Listening

This will help training assessors in my college

Feel more confident in what I am doing

Made the assessing less daunting

This has been the most comprehensive training on Speaking and Listening

Would help all Functional Skills teachers
