Functional or Key Skills
|
| These are core elements of English and Mathematics that will provide you with the skills and abilities you need to operate confidently, effectively and independently in life, your community and work.Sometimes, previous qualifications such as GCSEs, can contribute to attainment of these skills. For some apprenticeships Information & Communication Technology (ICT) is also relevant. |

Traditionally an advanced apprenticeship programme would have an element of off-the-job experience, this would relate to the practical performing engineering operations qualification.
The learner could expect to attend a Further Education Establishment for at least one day per week for the potential of the whole programme.
