About this course

Free Entry Level 3 Functional Skills Maths in Middlesbrough. Classes run at IntoUniversity Middlesbrough, part-time during the day. The course typically takes 15 days, so it fits around other commitments. You'll work on the everyday maths skills that employers and colleges look for. This is an entry level functional skills maths qualification, and it sits on the same framework as the GCSE maths alternative route many employers accept. You'll be assessed without a traditional GCSE-style exam process. You'll have an initial assessment to make sure Entry Level 3 Functional Skills Maths is the right level for you.

Who this course is for

Functional Skills qualifications are intended to support learners as they seek to improve their literacy, numeracy and ICT skills. Achieving these qualifications should increase candidates’ confidence and motivation, and the skills they gain will be valuable in the workplace or in any further learning.

What you will learn

  • You'll work with whole numbers, including addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
  • You'll handle simple fractions and percentages in everyday contexts.
  • You'll read and interpret straightforward charts, tables and graphs.
  • You'll use measures such as length, weight, capacity and time.
  • You'll solve practical maths problems drawn from real everyday situations.
  • You'll check your own calculations and identify errors.

How you will learn

You'll learn through classroom-based sessions at IntoUniversity Middlesbrough. Assessment is task-based and focuses on applying maths to practical, everyday situations. You'll complete set tasks that demonstrate your skills rather than sitting a traditional timed exam. Your tutor will track your progress throughout the course.
