We’ve designed an integrated solution for delivering Level 1 and 2 Functional Skills. One that supports your delivery journey from start to finish, with careful consideration about the tools and resources that you’ll need to succeed along the way.
Signing up to FAST will provide you with:
* All products and services within FAST can be purchased individually.
Historically you would have to source a registration fee for the qualification, a credit agreement for the initial assessment and a cost for the learning resources but with FAST you pay one price per learner for all!
We have 6 FAST bands that provides you with fantastic savings on your overall spend. These bands are:

For the first 3 bands you will be allocated a maximum of user licences, one licence equals one learner, and can be allocated to any learner at your centre. For the final 3 bands there will be no set limit to the number of licences you can use. A licence will provide you access to One Assessment for both Functional Skills and GCSE, diagnostic assessments, quality dashboard, learning and teaching resources.
FAST will be offered through a legally binding contract committing you to a set number of registrations per 12-month period which will be monitored throughout the period.
