Summary

Functional Skills in Maths is a part time course for students over 19. If you want to develop your Maths skills but aren't 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 help students to develop a range of basic calculation skills and enhance their 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 the classes are usually 2 1/2 hours long.
