Who is this course for?

This course is for people who need to brush up their maths skills for work or personal use. A Functional Skills Level 1 qualification demonstrates the ability to apply a basic understanding of maths and English in real life situations at home and work.

What you will learn

On the course you will:

  • develop efficient ways to calculate

  • understand and use percentages

  • work with measurements and shapes

  • represent data in graphs and charts, and understand averages

  • work towards a Functional Skills qualification and gain the skills to progress to GCSE

  • take a final assessment in June 2023.

How to enrol

Before you enrol you need to complete a pre-course assessment (PCA) where we will:

  • assess your skill level
  • discuss your goals
  • recommend the right course for you.

These assessments take place throughout the year.

How to prepare

My mathematical mind wakes up in these learning spaces. I enjoy the way the tutor doesn’t simply give an answer, but gets the class as a whole to work it out for ourselves.
