FAQS

Here are two frequently asked questions from the feedback surveys in editions 1 and 2 of Onboard. If you’ve got any questions, please pop them in the Quick Poll below.

Do I need to study English and maths with my main course?

If you already have GCSE English and Maths at Grade 4/C when you start with us, you will not need to continue to study English and Maths at College.

If you are aged 16-18 on a full-time course and you do not already have GCSE English and GCSE Maths at Grade 4/C or above, you will need to study for these qualifications. This is a Government requirement, and all colleges do this.

You will find that having Grade 4/C or above in English and Maths is required by most employers and by universities too, which is why they are such important qualifications for you to have.

We will assess your English and maths skills when you start at College, and arrange for you to study either GCSE or Functional Skills English and Maths, depending on your skills level.

Study for these English and maths qualifications is free for young people aged 16-18 and for adults.
