Who this course is for

These qualifications are for learners of all ages. They are suitable for adults and young people across a wide range of settings. Note these qualifications are only available to centres and learners in England.

Entry requirements

There are no entry requirements for these qualifications and no formal age restrictions.

What you will learn

  • You'll read and understand numbers up to 10.
  • You'll count, order, and compare small numbers.
  • You'll add and subtract using whole numbers.
  • You'll recognise simple shapes and patterns.
  • You'll handle everyday money and time in basic situations.
  • You'll understand simple data presented in charts or tables.

How you will learn

Learning is blended. You'll study online at your own pace and attend daytime sessions at Landmarks Rotherham. Assessment is through a practical, task-based test set by City and Guilds. There are no written exams in the traditional sense. Tasks are designed to reflect everyday maths situations, so you're assessed on what you can do, not on exam technique.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. Landmarks Rotherham will confirm anything else you need before you start.

Where next

Jobs you could do

  • Care assistant: basic numeracy supports daily care tasks
  • Retail assistant: handling cash, stock counts, and simple calculations
  • Warehouse operative: counting, measuring, and checking deliveries
  • Kitchen assistant: weighing ingredients and following simple recipes
  • Cleaner or facilities operative: reading labels, measuring products
  • Childcare helper: supporting early years activities involving numbers

What you could study next

Once you complete Entry Level 1, you can move on to the Functional Skills Qualification in Mathematics (Entry 2), then Entry Level 3. From there, Functional Skills Maths Level 1 and Level 2 follow. Level 2 is the recognised GCSE maths equivalent, accepted by employers and colleges that ask for GCSE maths or equivalent. Each step builds on the last, and there are no gaps you have to jump.
