About this course

Free Entry Level 3 Functional Skills Maths in Redcar. Classes run at Triage Redcar, part-time during the day. The course runs over 15 days, so you can fit it around other commitments. You'll work on everyday number skills: handling money, measuring, working with data, and solving practical maths problems. For many employers, a functional skills maths qualification carries the same weight as a GCSE maths alternative, making it a recognised route if you need to show maths ability at work or in further study.

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 adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing.
  • You'll handle simple fractions and recognise common fractions in everyday contexts.
  • You'll use money and measures in practical situations.
  • You'll read and interpret simple charts, tables, and graphs.
  • You'll solve straightforward problems using maths in real-life contexts.
  • You'll check your answers and explain your reasoning simply.

How you will learn

You'll learn in a classroom at Triage Redcar, with a tutor guiding you through each topic. Learning is practical and task-based. Assessment is through a written test set and marked by NCFE. You'll have an initial assessment before you start so the course is set at the right level for you.

What you will need to bring

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

Where next

Jobs you could do

  • Care assistant: many roles ask for maths at this level or above.
  • Retail sales assistant: handling cash and stock calculations.
  • Warehouse operative: measuring, counting, and checking orders.
  • Catering assistant: weighing ingredients and managing portion sizes.
  • Childcare worker: recording observations and basic admin tasks.
  • Cleaning operative: following instructions involving quantities and time.

What you could study next

Once you have Entry Level 3, the natural next step is Functional Skills Maths Level 1. After that, Functional Skills Maths Level 2 is the recognised GCSE maths equivalent that many employers and colleges ask for. If you also want to strengthen your English, Functional Skills English qualifications follow the same structure and are available at the same levels.
