Certificates in Adult Numeracy and Literacy

You can use your Skills for Life course to help you achieve a nationally recognised Certificate in Adult Literacy or Numeracy. They measure skills at an equivalent level to other national qualifications.

The qualifications that you can get are:

• Certificate in Adult Literacy Level 1
• Certificate in Adult Literacy Level 2

• Certificate in Adult Numeracy Level 1
• Certificate in Adult Numeracy Level 2

To get a Certificate, you need to take and pass a short test. It's multiple choice, only 40 questions long and most people take it on a computer so they can answer the questions at the touch of a button. You can take the test in the relaxed atmosphere of your local accredited learndirect centre.

What's more, taking any Certificate test is FREE to adult learners in England and Wales.

If you wish to study towards this qualification, you should discuss it with your local learndirect centre before you start learning. You can then agree how and where assessment for your qualification will take place.

Please note that not all learndirect centres offer qualifications. Check with your local learndirect centre to see if the Certificates in Adult Numeracy and Literacy are available.
