About this course

This functional skills maths course runs for 33 weeks part-time and covers the number, measure, and data skills used in everyday life and work. You'll have an initial assessment to confirm Entry Level 2 is the right starting point, and the centre will use it to plan your learning.

Who this course is for

This course is funded for learners in the York area. If you do not live in York or North Yorkshire, we recommend contacting your local adult education provider.

The course will suit anyone who does not already have a qualification at Level 2 (GCSE 4+) or above in Maths.
