How the Festival of Functionality supports you and your learners
'Completed a little more CPD today, examining how to support our learners in developing English skills to use in the workplace, as well as achieving their English qualification.
Thank you for the fantastic sessions over the last two weeks. Really insightful and engaging. You shared some useful teaching techniques I can take away and put into practice.''
