Functional skills Maths and English courses available for Trust colleagues

August 25, 2021

Do you want to achieve your Maths or English functional skills? The Trust can offer you the opportunity to gain Maths and English qualifications via the following routes free of charge.

Option 1:

Maths and English courses via online/remote learning sessions delivered by Halesowen College supporting you through to take the examination/s. This will be on Wednesdays for 2 hours for a typical duration of 12 weeks. All classes will be online using Microsoft Teams so students will need a suitable device and internet access to join the sessions. Full details will be provided by Halesowen College about how to access and use this once students are enrolled.

Option 2:

Registration and access to an e-learning portal named ‘BKSB’ where colleagues can independently learn the requirements of Maths and English to prepare themselves to take the examination/s. Mock Examinations are available to support this method of learning when you are ready to be entered for them.

To express your interest to enrol or if you have any questions, please email swbh.apprenticeship@nhs.net or call 0121 507 6425 by the Wednesday 1 September confirming which choice of learning you would prefer (option 1 or 2).
