    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.
