The Future of Functional Skills: Digital Transformation in Delivery and Assessment

Functional Skills delivery is evolving. What was once a paper-heavy, rigid process is being reshaped by digital transformation, bringing new opportunities to improve learner outcomes, reduce workload, and increase efficiency across the board.

In this timely and practical webinar, we’ll explore how technology is redefining the way Functional Skills qualifications are delivered and assessed. From AI-powered essay marking and feedback, to online assessments, digital tools are not only improving access and engagement, but also making it easier for training providers and educators to manage the demands of delivery, compliance, and quality assurance.

We’ll showcase how training providers are embracing digital approaches that enhance flexibility, personalisation, and tracking. These approaches help learners progress faster and more confidently, while giving tutors and managers better insight into performance. You’ll see real examples of how automation can reduce admin, how smart assessment tools can boost accuracy and reduce marking time, and how integrated systems can streamline your entire learner journey.

This session is not just about the tools. It’s also about understanding the mindset shift needed to make digital transformation meaningful and sustainable. We’ll discuss how to balance innovation with compliance and how to ensure technology enhances rather than replaces the essential human support that underpins learner success.

Whether you’re a curriculum lead, tutor, quality manager or provider CEO, this session will give you a clear picture of where Functional Skills is heading and how you can get ahead of the curve.
