Functional Skills Maths Level 1 - 09865

Reformed Functional Skills qualifications in English and mathematics have recently been submitted to Ofqual for evaluation. The reformed qualifications are for first teaching from September 2019. Learners starting their Functional Skills qualifications on or after 1 September 2019 must be entered for the reformed qualifications. 

Learners who have started current Functional Skills qualifications before 1 September 2019 can still be entered for assessments in the current qualifications up until 30 June 2020. The final certification date for the current qualifications is 31 August 2020. 

For more information please read the Subject information update.

As you may be aware, both Ofqual and the DfE have recently held public consultations regarding the reform of Functional Skills qualifications in English and Maths at all levels. It is intended that the reformed qualifications are available for first teach in September 2019.

We are fully engaged with both consultations and intend to continue to offer the full provision of reformed Functional Skills. We will keep you updated of intentions and outcomes as they progress.

Please refer to the centre timeline for more information.
