Here at Academy Online Learning we offer you the chance to study Functional Skills in Maths and English, or GCSEs in Maths, English and Human Biology. But what is the difference?
Firstly, you do not require either the Maths and English to start a diploma with Academy Online Learning in Health Science Professions or Business Studies.
Secondly, it is important to point out that you must have at least Maths and English at Level 2 to apply to university in the UK. When enquiring check what the entry requirements are for your chosen university course. GCSEs and the Functional Skills that we offer are Level 2.
