Guroo: Functional Skills Resources and Initial Assessment

More than 600 organisations with 150,000 learners choose Guroo for Functional Skills.

At the heart of Guroo is a massive bank of Functional Skills resources that are specifically designed to engage today’s learners and support your Functional Skills delivery across all vocational and apprenticeship areas. They’re set in real-world contexts, include the types of media your students relate to, and help develop functionality in Maths, English and ICT at every level.

And now including online and paper based Initial Assessment and Diagnostics designed specifically for Functional Skills.

Guroo is a complete solution, offering competitive user based licencing that saves you a fortune on traditional annual subscriptions for Functional Skills, and related qualifications such as the OCR Progression Qualifications for English and Maths. We offer:

Purpose built initial assessment and diagnostic tools – both on-line and paper based for English, maths and ICT, automatically producing a full diagnostic mapped to the Functional Skills criteria. Paper based core activities such as initial assessment, worksheets, lesson plans and teacher notes are also available.   Everything in Guroo can be done online for flexible, anytime, anywhere learning. High quality tutorial videos based on those hard to learn key concepts in Maths, English and ICT. A wide range of teaching and learning resources based around problem solving in real world contexts including many set within vocational areas, skills gap analysis, progress and assessment reporting. 10 minute level checker – ideal for use in the interview process and for screening.

Functional Skills are the essential maths, English and ICT elements of apprenticeships, traineeships, GCSEs and foundation learning. Guroo resources are very suitable to support adult progression qualifications too.

Guroo works in training providers, colleges, work based learning, schools – anywhere Functional Skills are taught, and Guroo’s licencing model is designed to be flexible and affordable for everyone, from the smallest cohort to the largest site.

Under development now is exam practice supporting all the major awarding organisations.
