Entry requirements

Learners should be working at Entry 2

What you will learn

  • You'll work with whole numbers, including counting, ordering, and simple calculations.
  • You'll add and subtract using whole numbers in everyday contexts.
  • You'll handle money, including giving change and working out simple totals.
  • You'll read and use simple measurements, such as length, weight, and time.
  • You'll interpret straightforward data from tables, charts, and lists.
  • You'll solve simple number problems linked to daily life.

How you will learn

You'll learn through classroom-based sessions at Birtenshaw College, with support from a tutor. Assessment is through a Pearson Edexcel test. You'll have an initial assessment before you start so the centre can confirm Entry Level 2 is the right starting point and plan your learning from there.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. Birtenshaw College will confirm anything else you need before you start.

Where next

Jobs you could do

  • Warehouse operative: basic maths used daily for stock and picking
  • Retail assistant: handling money, stock counts, and simple totals
  • Care assistant: measuring, recording, and following written instructions
  • Kitchen assistant: weighing ingredients and following simple recipes
  • Cleaner or caretaker: reading labels, measuring quantities safely
  • Delivery driver's assistant: counting, sorting, and checking loads

What you could study next

Once you complete Entry Level 2, the natural next step is the Functional Skills Qualification in Mathematics (Entry 3). After that, you can work toward Functional Skills Maths Level 1 and then Level 2. Level 2 is the recognised equivalent to a GCSE maths pass, which many employers and further education courses ask for. Each level builds on the last, so your Entry Level 2 Certificate is a solid foundation.
