About this course

Free Entry Level 3 Functional Skills Maths in Northallerton. Classes run at Triage Northallerton, part-time during the day. The course runs over 15 days, so it fits around other commitments. You'll work on the everyday maths skills that employers and further education providers look for. This is a recognised functional skills maths qualification, and it sits at the same level as the foundation tier of GCSE maths, making it a genuine GCSE maths alternative for adults. You'll have an initial assessment to confirm Entry Level 3 is the right starting point, and the centre will use it to plan your learning.

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 counting, ordering, and place value.
  • You'll add, subtract, multiply, and divide using whole numbers.
  • You'll understand and use simple fractions and percentages in everyday contexts.
  • You'll read and interpret straightforward charts, tables, and graphs.
  • You'll use money, time, and measurement in practical situations.
  • You'll solve straightforward problems using maths in real contexts.

How you will learn

You'll attend classroom-based sessions at Triage Northallerton. Learning is hands-on and practical, working through tasks and problems with tutor support. Assessment for the NCFE Functional Skills Qualification in Mathematics (Entry 3) is through a written on-screen or paper-based test. You'll need to pass the test to earn your certificate.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. Triage Northallerton will confirm anything else you need before you start.

Where next

Jobs you could do

  • Warehouse operative: many roles require basic numeracy checks
  • Care assistant: handling medication records and measurements
  • Retail assistant: handling cash, stock counts, and pricing
  • Catering assistant: measuring ingredients and managing orders
  • Childcare worker: recording observations and tracking progress
  • Administrator: working with data, invoices, and schedules

What you could study next

Once you have your Entry Level 3 certificate, the natural next step is Functional Skills Maths Level 1. After that, you can work toward Functional Skills Maths Level 2, which is the recognised GCSE maths equivalent. Level 2 is what most employers and colleges mean when they ask for GCSE maths or equivalent. You could also look at vocational qualifications in your chosen field alongside your maths study.
