Controlled assessment units are only found in Functional Skills English specifications. If you want to take one of these assessments as a private candidate, you must have a school/college which agrees to conduct all the work required for the course.

As a private candidate, you are responsible for finding a school which can supervise, authenticate and mark the controlled assessments that are necessary for these qualifications.

Carrying forward controlled assessment marks

Functional Skills English are modular qualifications. If you have already sat the controlled assessment unit before, the result of that unit remains available for use in a future award.

You do not need to request that the result is re-used or carried forward.

Deadlines

Please note that entries for controlled assessment units will not be accepted after the submission deadline date.
