Functional Skills in Maths is a part-time course for students aged over 19. If you want to develop your Maths skills but don't feel ready for GCSEs yet then Functional Skills is a good starting point.
We offer both Entry Level and Level 1 Maths Functional Skills qualifications, all of which will help you to develop a range of basic calculation skills and enhance your problem-solving abilities.
The qualification is recognised by colleges and employers and some universities accept Functional Skills instead of GCSEs. The course is offered on a day or evening basis, and classes are usually 2.5 hours long.

The course is about developing essential skills of recognising problems, pursuing solutions, and communicating explanations, all of which are highly sought after in the workplace.
