About this course

The course covers everyday maths skills including numbers, calculations, and handling data. It typically takes 33 weeks.

This free functional skills maths course is funded for learners in the York and North Yorkshire area.

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.

  • You'll add, subtract, multiply, and divide using whole numbers.
  • You'll recognise and use simple fractions and percentages.
  • You'll read and interpret straightforward charts, tables, and graphs.
  • You'll use basic measures including length, weight, capacity, and time.
  • You'll handle money and work out simple costs.
