Springboard is a short programme that supports you and helps you feel confident and prepared before starting Functional Skills English and/or Maths.
Springboard

Springboard does not give you a Level 1 or Level 2 qualification on its own. Instead, it helps you get ready for Functional Skills courses. These courses lead to recognised qualifications for jobs, apprenticeships, or further study.
During Springboard, you will:
- Refresh your Maths and English skills before starting in September
- Build your confidence and feel less worried about these subjects
- Get used to learning again if you’ve been away from education for a while
- Learn at your own pace, with no pressure
If you’re not ready to start Functional Skills in September, you can stay on Springboard until you feel confident to move on.
Springboard focuses on confidence first, qualifications later.
- A gentle way to start again
- A strong base to build on
- A better chance to succeed
