About this course

Free Entry Level 3 Functional Skills Maths Course in Middlesbrough. Classes run at Redcar & Cleveland Training and Employment Hub, part-time during the day.

You'll cover working with whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and basic measures. The course runs over 20 weeks. There are no entry requirements. You'll complete a short assessment before you start, so you join the right level.

You'll finish with a Functional Skills Qualification in Mathematics at Entry Level 3.

Who this course is for

If you would like to develop your maths skills for further learning or employment, gain a nationally recognised qualification (up to Level 2), or wish to develop your confidence using maths in everyday situations, this is the right course for you!

Entry requirements

There are no entry requirements, but we ask all learners to complete a short initial and diagnostic assessment before the course starts so we can enrol you on the right level.

What you will learn

  • You'll work with whole numbers, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
  • You'll understand and use simple fractions and decimals.
  • You'll read and interpret basic charts, tables, and graphs.
  • You'll use measures such as length, weight, capacity, and time.
  • You'll handle money and work out simple calculations in everyday contexts.

How you will learn

You'll learn in a classroom with a tutor. Sessions are part-time and run during the day. You'll be assessed through a written task and a test set by City and Guilds.
