The results of the second part of the largest
independent survey in the sector - the 4th Annual Functional Skills
Survey - are the focus of this week's newsletter.
An analysis of respondents views on two
questions “Please tell us about the best resources you use for Functional
Skills” and “Please rank each provider according to your personal
perceptions or experience” are the focus of this week’s newsletter.

Analysis and
results of the sector's largest independent survey.
More than 1000
respondents have contributed to the Annual Functional Skills Survey over the
last 4 years. The results and analysis below focus on the key suppliers to the
sector for 2015 are below.
A common feature of previous annual surveys has
been analysis of respondent’s views and opinions of key suppliers in the
sector. The 2015 survey maintains this and this section summarises the opinions
of the respondents.
What is clear is that in all categories of
resource, more than 90% of respondents mentioned either BKSB or
ForSkills/Guroo. New entrants, in-house developed and “free internet” resources
represent less than 10% of respondent’s answers across all areas, perhaps
reflecting the need to use Ofsted compliant resources that are standardised,
well proven and fully supported.
Onto the results – we asked “Please tell us about
the best resources you use for Functional Skills” and then respondents vote across
8 categories of resource type and use: Assessment & Diagnostic, T&L
resources, Ease of Use, Engaging Learners, Progress Tracking, Support, Pricing
and Company Experience.
The results reveal quite naturally that the market
choice is very much BKSB or ForSkills/Guroo with the table and bar chart below
showing two different views of all choices.
