About this course

Free Entry Level 2 Functional Skills Maths in Redditch. Classes run at Workpays Redditch, with daytime attendance and flexible study to fit around your life. This entry level functional skills maths course covers number, measure, and handling data at a practical, everyday level. It takes around 55 hours in total. You do not need any existing maths qualifications to start. An initial assessment will confirm Entry Level 2 is the right starting point and help plan your learning.

Who this course is for

This course is designed for people looking to improve their maths skills and currently do not have a recognised qualification at Entry Level 3. It will also help to improve employability, communication and anaylsis skills, which are helpful in all areas.

Entry requirements

You do not currently hold any maths qualifications and have a desire to achieve a recognised qualification.

What you will learn

  • You'll work with whole numbers, including counting, ordering, and simple calculations.
  • You'll add, subtract, multiply, and divide using everyday contexts.
  • You'll recognise and use simple fractions and percentages.
  • You'll read and use information from tables, lists, and simple charts.
  • You'll measure length, weight, capacity, and time in practical situations.
  • You'll handle money and work out basic costs.
  • You'll develop the number skills used in everyday tasks at home and at work.

How you will learn

You'll learn through classroom-based sessions at Workpays Redditch, with a flexible daytime timetable. Learning is hands-on and practical, using real-life contexts to build your maths skills. Assessment is through a formal written test set by City and Guilds. You'll need to pass the test to earn your qualification.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. Workpays Redditch 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, change, and stock counts
  • Care assistant: measuring, recording, and following written instructions
  • Cleaner or caretaker: reading schedules and measuring cleaning products
  • Kitchen assistant: weighing ingredients and following quantities
  • Delivery driver's mate: counting, sorting, and checking manifests

What you could study next

Once you have your Entry Level 2 qualification, 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 GCSE maths equivalent and is what many employers mean when they ask for GCSE maths or equivalent. Each level builds on the last, so your Entry Level 2 certificate is a solid foundation.
