The Adult Literacy and Adult Numeracy qualifications are sometimes referred to as Adult Basic Skills, but can be taken by learners of any age. They are available at three levels: Entry 1, 2 and 3, Level 1 and Level 2. 

At Entry Level each component is assessed by an externally set paper that is internally marked and externally verified. 

NEW FOR 2008: Adult Literacy and Adult Numeracy qualifications will also be available at Entry 3 (only) as an onscreen multiple-choice test. For more information, visit Adult Literacy or Adult Numeracy  Entry Level pages.

At Levels 1 and 2 the qualifications are assessed through the national test for communication for literacy; and the national test for application of number for numeracy.  Each of these tests can be taken on-screen. 

There is no requirement for learners to complete a portfolio of evidence for any of the Edexcel Adult Literacy and Adult Numeracy qualifications. The tests, at all levels, are based on the National Standards for literacy and numeracy.
