This qualification is ideal for anyone looking to gain a Level 2 certification in English, which is essential for proving proficiency in English to employers and educational institutions. A Level 2 qualification serves as an alternative to a GCSE in English, making it a suitable choice if you haven't already obtained a GCSE qualification. This is equivalent to achieving a Grade 4-9 or C–A* in GCSE subjects.

For individuals who may not feel ready for Level 2 or do not require it, we also offer a Level 1 qualification at the same price.
