About this course

Entry Level 1 Functional Skills Maths in Newark. Classes run at Lincoln College Campus, part-time over 34 weeks. This entry level functional skills maths course covers the maths you use in everyday life, including numbers, measurements, and basic calculations. You'll have an initial assessment to confirm Entry Level 1 is the right starting point, and the centre will use it to plan your learning. The course runs during the day or on a block release basis.
