Literacy and Numeracy Qualifications - Skills for Life
Getting your Level 2 qualifications in literacy and
numeracy
Would you like a national qualification in
English or maths? If you would like to improve your skills in
reading and writing or numeracy, or if you already have the skills
but no qualification, you can now gain a free
national qualification in Adult Literacy or Adult Numeracy.
Getting a level 2 qualification will:
- give you more confidence in your own abilities;
- show what you have achieved, for example on your CV;
- help you get onto other courses such as NVQs;
- help you access assessment for the HLTA status;
- give you confidence to study for GCSE English and
mathematics.
National tests contain multiple-choice questions based on real
examples. You can do them on paper or on computer. You can even do
an example test before enquiring any further.
