English Functional Skills / GCSE

At Sutton College, we offer English courses ranging from Entry Level 3 up to Level 2 Functional Skills and GCSE English (Level 2).
These courses cover topics such as identifying and spelling everyday words and basic grammar and punctuation right up to more complex topics such as language and organisational features and critical evaluation of texts. We have a range of ONLINE and ONSITE courses starting at different times of the year.

September Start courses finishing May/June
We have a range of September start courses at all levels which are just once a week throughout the academic year for those who want to take their qualifications at a steady pace.

Intensive – Levels 1 and 2 - Starting September and finishing January, then February to June
These are classes for those who have more time to commit to their studies. They take place twice a week to enable you to achieve your qualifications in just a few months.
Fast Track January start courses finishing June
Our Fast Track January start courses are once a week for Level 1 and 2 learners who already have a good level of English and need their qualification with less guided learning hours.

June start courses
We also have Level 1 and Level 2 courses starting in June and working through the Summer.

Learning Aim: Z0011145 - Courses will also include guidance on using Google Classroom as part of your learning experience. You will learn how to access course information, communicate and collaborate with fellow learners, submit assignments, and receive feedback from your tutor.

Courses range from Entry Level to GCSE and you will be given a short online assessment at your Course Approval session.
This will determine which level course you will be put onto. If you are hoping to enrol onto an ONLINE course, you must have basic IT skills and for all courses you will need a basic level of English.
If English is your second language, you may be referred to an ESOL course (English for Speakers of Other Languages) before you are approved to enrol onto an ESSENTIAL SKILLS course.
