Functional Skills Maths (Pre GCSE): Level 1 - PT Evening

You should have an interest in the subject area you are applying for. There are no formal entry requirements but we will assess your level of English and maths to make sure you are working at Entry Level 3 or above. This is to ensure you are able to meet the course requirements.

These are part-time courses suitable for adults (over 19 years old) that have been out of full-time education for some time. Functional Skills is for students who need to gain a solid understanding of the basic mathematical skills needed for further study, the workplace or everyday life. Everyday decisions are often based on mathematical information. Developing your maths skills will help you to make the best choices.

The course is delivered over 15 weeks of classroom taught lessons for 2 hours a week. You will be expected to combine this with a further 2 hours of guided study a week on an online platform called Century. At the end of the course, you will take an exam. This will involve both non-calculator and calculator papers.

Exam – Two papers in one sitting. Non-calculator (25%) and Calculator (75%)

This course runs on the Uxbridge Campus from 6-8pm on Thursday evenings.

Improving your maths skills will improve your opportunities for work and further study.

On successful completion of Level 1, you can look at either a Level 2 Functional Skills qualification or possibly GCSE.
