Course name
Course code
MAT-FS-L12I-F/25-2AA
Introduction to the course
You will learn real-world skills to help you use maths. This could be, for example, helping your children with their maths homework, or for your own self development. Functional skills qualifications can also improve your employability, and they are excellent qualifications to add to your CV.
These courses are available at Entry, Level 1, and Level 2 levels.
We know that not everyone had the best time at school, and for many of us, the idea of returning to learning as an adult can be worrying. Our tutors understand this and offer support and guidance throughout. As part of your course, you will learn study skills to help you gain new confidence in your abilities.
What will I learn?
The course will cover various topics including:
- Adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing
- Calculating with money
- Understanding fractions and percentages and applying them to real-life situations
- Converting between units of measure
- Calculating averages
- Plotting and reading graphs
You will also learn study skills and exam skills to help you achieve success.
What are the entry requirements?
You must be aged 19 or over (as at 31st August 2025) and be a UK resident.
There will be homework and self-study assignments. Please be sure you will have enough time each week to attend all classes and to complete the homework assignments outside of class.
You will also need a basic level of digital skills in order to access the online elements of the course.
What do I need to bring with me to class?
Please bring a pen, note paper or note book, and a folder to store any handouts.
This course has some elements delivered online, so you will need access to a computer or laptop and an internet connection. (Please note that a smartphone or tablet will not be suitable)
If you do not have the necessary IT equipment, you can still apply for the course as there may be opportunity for equipment loan depending on your personal circumstances.
What can I do after my course has finished?
Most learners can continue to the next Functional Skills level. For learners who complete all the levels, we offer the opportunity to move up to GCSE or take a vocational course.
