About this course

Free Entry Level 2 Functional Skills Maths Course in Middlesbrough. Classes run at Redcar and Cleveland Training and Employment Hub, part-time during the day.

Topics include addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, and reading charts. The pace is manageable, making it a good fit if you're balancing study with other commitments.
