The qualifications assess learners’ underpinning subject knowledge and their ability to apply this knowledge to different contexts. They provide a foundation for progression to employment and further technical education, and they help learners to develop skills for everyday life. In some contexts, Functional Skills qualifications will also play a part in the government’s accountability systems.  \nFunctional Skills qualifications are based on Department for Education (DfE) approved subject content and are regulated by Ofqual.  \nLearners will work towards their qualification in a number of settings, including but not limited to:  \n• schools and sixth-form colleges  \n• Pupil Referral Units  \n• further education providers  \n• private colleges  \n• private skills providers  \n• offender learning establishments  \n• higher education establishments.  \nFor all ","cbCaiu4wMtcJCFhC","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiu4wMtcJCFhC","pdf",518404,55,"English","# Introducing Pearson Edexcel Functional Skills qualifications\n# Qualification summary and key information\n# Qualification purpose\n# Qualification structures\n# Programme delivery\n# Centre resource requirements\n# Access and recruitment\n# Assessment\n# Centre recognition and approval\n# Entry, awarding and reporting\n# Centre support\n# Subject content\n# Further information and useful publications\n# Professional development and training\n# Contact us","[{\"question\":\"What do Functional Skills qualifications assess for Entry Level 3 and Level 1?\",\"answer\":\"They assess learners’ underpinning subject knowledge and their ability to apply that knowledge in different contexts relevant to work and everyday life.\"},{\"question\":\"What are TQT and GLH in this specification?\",\"answer\":\"TQT is the total estimated learner time to achieve the qualification, and GLH is the portion involving guided learning activities such as lessons, tutorials, and supervised study.\"},{\"question\":\"How is assessment handled for these qualifications?\",\"answer\":\"Assessment is externally set, on-demand, with grading reported on a pass/fail basis.
