About this course

Free Entry Level 1 Functional Skills Maths in Stockport. Evening classes run at Stockport Continuing Education Service, so you can fit study around work or other commitments. You'll start with an initial assessment to confirm Entry Level 1 is the right starting point and to help plan your learning. The course covers everyday number skills: counting, simple calculations, and using maths in practical situations. Classes run part-time over 9 months. This is a stepping stone toward Entry Level 2 and, eventually, a functional skills maths qualification at Level 2, the recognised GCSE maths alternative that many employers accept.
