Learn maths and English for free

Improving your English and maths can change your life in ways you might not expect. From helping your children with their homework to managing your household finances with confidence, the benefits are closer to home than you think.

If you’re over 19 and live in England, the WEA’s functional skills courses are completely free*. You can study online from wherever you are in England. When you’re ready, you’ll sit an in-person exam at a venue near you to earn your qualification.

A functional skills qualification is equivalent to a GCSE and a great way to secure a new job, higher pay, or progress to further study. There’s no better time to take the first step. Visit the WEA website to find out more and apply today.

* If you are aged over 19 and ordinarily resident in England then you are likely to receive full funding. If you do not qualify, the WEA will let you know as part of the application process. You can cancel at any time. You can call them on 0300 303 3464 if you would like to check your eligibility. Please note that due to funding restrictions they are currently unable to offer places on these courses to learners in Greater Manchester and Tees Valley.
