You have decided to do Functional Skills Level 2. Now you have to choose between our 5-Day Revision Course at £19.99 and our 10-Week Online Course at £197. The honest answer is: the right one depends on where you are starting from. This post helps you make the call in five minutes.
The two-second answer
If you already understand the basics of Maths or English at GCSE level and just need focused exam preparation – choose the 5-Day Revision Course (£19.99).
If your Maths or English needs proper rebuilding from scratch and you want a tutor walking you through it live – choose the 10-Week Online Course (£197).
Still not sure? Read on.
Side-by-side comparison
When the 5-Day Course is the right call
The 5-Day Course works for you if:
- You can read and write English comfortably (or you can do basic Maths confidently) and just need to learn the exam format
- You have sat a GCSE or Functional Skills exam before and got close to passing
- You scored 60%+ on a free Highfield-marked mock test
- You learn well from video and self-study
- You want to be sitting your exam within two weeks of enrolment
- Budget is tight – £19.99 plus a Klarna option is the most affordable route possible
The 5-Day Course strips out everything except what examiners actually want. No padding, no academic theory – just the patterns, command words and answer structures that get you marks. Most learners finish it in a weekend.
When the 10-Week Course is the right call
The 10-Week Course is the better choice if:
- Maths or English have not been your strongest subjects since school
- You have not studied formally for several years and want to ease back in
- You scored under 50% on a mock test
- You learn better with a live tutor you can ask questions of
- You want weekly practice with feedback rather than self-marking
- You have time to commit to one weekly session for ten weeks
Live sessions run Thursday lunchtime (12-1pm Maths, 1-2pm English) or Saturday morning (10-11am Maths, 11am-12pm English). Both options fit around full-time work and family commitments. Every session is recorded so missing one is fine.

Why the Complete Package is the smart middle option
If you want both subjects done together and you want maximum support, the Complete Package at £450 bundles in:
- 10-Week Maths Course
- 10-Week English Course
- 5-Day Maths revision
- 5-Day English revision
- Both exams booked with Highfield
That works out at £225 per subject including the exam – significantly less than buying components separately, and less than most single-subject college resits. Klarna is available at checkout, so you can spread £450 across 3 or 4 interest-free payments of £113-£150.
Frequently asked questions
Can I start with the 5-Day Course and upgrade if I need to?
Yes. If you start the 5-Day Course and realise you need more support, you can upgrade to the 10-Week Course – we will credit what you have already paid against the new price. Just message us on WhatsApp.
Are both courses Ofqual-regulated?
Yes. Both courses prepare you for the same Highfield Functional Skills Level 2 exam, which is Ofqual-regulated. The certificate you get is identical regardless of which course you took.
How quickly can I sit the exam?
From five days after enrolment, regardless of which course you choose. You can technically sit the exam having only watched a couple of revision videos – though we recommend completing the full course first.
What is the pass rate?
92% first-time pass across both courses. The 10-Week Course tends to have a slightly higher pass rate among learners who started with weaker foundations – but both work.
Is Klarna available on both?
Yes. Klarna is at checkout on every course. The Complete Package at £450 spread over 3 instalments works out at £150 per payment – or 4 payments of £112.50.
The bottom line
Both courses get you to the same place – a Highfield Functional Skills Level 2 pass. The 5-Day Course is right if you have a foundation to work with. The 10-Week Course is right if you want a tutor walking you through it live. The Complete Package is right if you want everything done together.
Whichever you choose, you will be done in days or weeks – not the academic year a college resit would cost you.
