Details: 2010 is the year when the new Functional Skills qualifications replace Key Skills.  Many providers still appear woefully unready for the change.   Feedback from the trials has indicated a raft of issues, in short, Functional Skills delivery is far from functional and in many cases is not meeting the individual needs of the learners. Be it from an ethical or inspection perspective it is imperative that learning providers and those tasked with supporting and enabling learners to develop their functional skills, ensure that the services they provide are effective.  This workshop explores practical, pragmatic and above all effective ways to teach, train and deliver Functional Skills qualifications.

This workshop is designed for all those leading on or delivering Functional Skills. It will be of interest to representatives from all organisations (including General and Specialist FE, HE, Private Training Providers, Local Authorities, Schools, Connexions, brokers and industry delivering contracts) delivering learning in areas such as : 
Pre- and post-16 provision
DWP/JCP contracts
Traditional routes (GCSE and A levels)
Apprenticeships
Diplomas
Foundation Learning 
Community Learning
Offender Learning
Consortia Leads
