Introduction

Home education continues to grow in popularity across the UK, with more families choosing flexible learning options to suit their needs. At Functional Skills Maths Level 2, we support learners and parents looking for effective ways to study from home. Whether you’re just starting your home education journey or already have experience, home schooled programs provide a structured, reliable route to success—especially in core subjects like maths and English.

Flexible Learning for Home Educators

Home schooled programs are designed specifically for learners outside the traditional classroom. Providers like Pass offer easy-to-follow online courses featuring video lessons, quizzes and instant feedback. Every course begins with a short diagnostic test to assess what the student already knows and highlight areas that need attention. This targeted approach helps make learning more efficient and builds confidence from the start.

Recognised Exams Made Simple

Many families wonder how their child can gain recognised qualifications while learning from home. That’s where home schooled programs shine. Through Pass, learners can access Ofqual-regulated Functional Skills and GCSE exams. They can choose between sitting the exam from home using secure online invigilation or attending a nearby test centre. Whichever option works best, the process is simple and well supported.

Clear Progress Tracking for Parents

One of the biggest benefits of using home schooled programs is the ability to keep track of progress. With built-in dashboards, parents and tutors can view completed topics, strengths and remaining areas to work on. There’s also space for feedback and comments, helping learners stay motivated and focused all the way through to their final exam.

Funded Options to Help with Costs

We know home schooling can come with extra expenses, but support is often available. Some students may qualify for fully funded home schooled programs, covering both course content and exam entry. It’s worth contacting the provider to find out if your child is eligible for a funded place.
