I mean, I wouldn't... They're getting tighter and tighter on in-person for Study Progs and *definitely* wouldn't deliver the whole lot online for L1 for pedagogical reasons anyway, can't believe you'd get the same quality as in-person with learners at that level (I Am Not A Teacher)...
Thanks Steve Hewitt ... This is also my own personal opinion from a quality point of view. On this occasion however, I trying to determine if it is possible to deliver them on-line without breaching funding rules.
Hi Steve Hewitt the only ambiguity is with the word 'Should' rather than 'Must' ...... Hence the requirement for clarification. Thanks for looking at this with me.
Roger that, thanks Chris Roberts

Functional Skills Face to Face delivery - Level 1 Study Program
Created
Can Functional Skills as part of a L1 Study Programme be delivered online (as long as all learning expectations are met)? I note in the conditions of funding at the link suggests they should be delivered face to face
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/16-to-19-funding-maths-and-english-condition-of-funding/2024-to-2025-academic-year-16-to-19-funding-maths-and-english-condition-of-funding it states the following:
Minimum teaching hours and mode of delivery
From the 2024 to 2025 academic year, institutions are expected to make their best efforts to deliver a minimum number of teaching hours in English and maths for students required to continue studying these. For full-time students, this equates to 3 hours per week for English and 4 hours for maths, and pro rata for part-time students. This study should be stand-alone, whole-class, in-person teaching, with any additional support, such as small group tuition or online support, supplementary to these minimum classroom hours.
