What opportunities will this course give me?
The Functional Skills Maths programme is designed to provide a strong base knowledge in mathematics, as well as deliver the transferrable skills needed to thrive in a huge range of settings.
Youll learn how maths can - and should - be used in everyday life. Armed with these valuable skills, you will feel more confident and equipped to approach new employment or simply enjoy a more enriched daily life.
The course is suitable for all; there are no entry requirements, and all levels are supported. Youll be placed into one of five levels dependent on your understanding and previous experience with maths. You will be assessed prior to enrolment so that you can be placed into an appropriate level of teaching.
All learners will enjoy a bespoke learning journey, built entirely around your aspirations and study availability. Plus, on completion, youll have the opportunity to progress through higher levels or explore different subjects within both GCSE courses and apprenticeships.
