English and Math equivalent qualifications

Created

None

Hi All, 

I was wondering if anyone would be able to point me in the right direction for this.

The ESFA publish a list of approved English and Maths exemptions and equivalent qualifications for apprenticeships found on the following: English and maths requirements in apprenticeship standards at level 2 and above - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

Is there something similar for Adult education courses and study programmes? I've looked through the guidance and can't seem to find anything definitive. For example, a learner with a L2 Key Skills certificate in Literacy or Numeracy would be exempt from English or Maths for Apprenticeships so would this mean they would not be eligible for funding on a level 2 AEB English/Maths course?

Thank you!

One of the AEB Legal entitlements is: English and maths, up to and including level 2, for individuals aged 19 and over, who have not previously attained a GCSE grade 4 (C), or higher.

This is completely different from English or Maths delivered in Apprenticeships.

Hi Martin, 

Thank you for the quick reply!

I understand that this is different but was wondering if there was a similar style list of equivalent qualifications?

Using Key Skills as an example:

- Would this be equivalent to FS L2 and therefore meet the condition of funding for 16-19 year olds on a study programme?

- For AEB, is it only GCSE that affects the legal entitlement? What if they have a level 2 FS or equivalent?

There is no similar style list to the Apprenticeship equivalent qualifications for 16-18 or AEB funding, to understand the requirements for Maths and English you will need to understand the funding rules for each separate funding stream.
