Functional Skills or GCSE Resit?

Thinking about improving your English or Maths qualifications? Our Learning Partner, Lift College, is here to help!

Whether you’re looking to progress in your career, start an apprenticeship or return to education, choosing the right qualification is an important first step.

But should you resit your GCSE or consider Functional Skills Level 2 instead?

Our valued learning partner, Lift College, has published a helpful guide explaining the differences between these qualifications, including exam flexibility, costs and which qualifications employers and universities accept.

Functional Skills Level 2 can offer a flexible alternative to traditional GCSEs, with assessments often available throughout the year. However, some courses and careers specifically require GCSE qualifications.
