English, Maths and Digital Functional Skills | Blackpool and The Fylde College

Courses

We know that not everyone finds reading and writing easy and that for some the maths simply doesn't add up. It's easy to feel left behind by tech too when everyone else seems to get it.

We have taught people to read who thought they never would and taken the fear out of maths for people who hate dealing with numbers. We've also given people the skills they need to use computers with confidence.

From being able to check your change in a shop to messaging your friends on social media, we know that these skills can be life-changing. What's more, they'll help you to get a job if you're out of work and get on in one if you're already working.

Just think how great it will be to do those things you never thought were possible and get in touch today.

What our students and tutors say:

Coming to Seasiders has helped me improve my confidence, both in myself and my ability to learn. I didn’t think it was possible for me to achieve my Level 2 maths but after working hard I have passed and I’ve now moved onto doing my GCSE Maths. I’m hoping to be able to start my Childcare Level 3 course in September.

The teachers at Seasiders are really good at what they do. I didn’t think I would ever complete a ES course but now I can’t get enough of learning. I started last year with English and I have since enrolled onto both Maths and Digital. Seasiders is a great learning centre and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to further themselves.

Getting my functional skills qualifications has really helped me grow as a person, I’ve recently started a new job and I am looking forward to moving on in my life. I want to prove to my family that I can do well.
