  By proving your reading and writing or number skills in a short test, you can now gain a qualification for adults in english or maths. It’s called the National Test. The certificate will not only give you a national qualification to be proud of but it may also help increase your confidence in all walks of life.

  What exactly is the National Test?

  There are two subjects – Literacy and Numeracy.

  Level 1 works at the same level as GCSE grades D to G.

  Level 2 works at the same level as GCSE grades A to C.

  Each test, which consists of 40 multiple-choice questions, is for anyone under 21 years of age and is completely free. It is also a qualification recognised by employers.
