About this course

Free Entry Level 3 Functional Skills Maths in Leicester. Classes run at Workpays Leicester, with daytime sessions and flexible study to fit around your life. The course covers number, measure, and data handling at Entry Level 3, building the maths skills used in everyday work and life. It runs for around 55 hours in total. A functional skills maths certificate at this level is a recognised starting point if you have no current maths qualification and want to work toward a GCSE maths alternative.

Who this course is for

This course is designed for people looking to improve their maths skills and currently do not have a recognised qualification at Entry Level 2. It will also help to improve employability, communication and anaylsis skills, which are helpful in all areas.

Entry requirements

You do not currently hold any maths qualifications and have a desire to achieve a recognised qualification.

What you will learn

  • You'll work with whole numbers, including adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing.
  • You'll read and interpret simple charts, tables, and graphs.
  • You'll use money, time, and measurements in practical contexts.
  • You'll solve straightforward maths problems using the right methods.
  • You'll understand and use simple fractions and percentages.
  • You'll apply maths to everyday situations, including work-related tasks.

How you will learn

You'll study in a classroom at Workpays Leicester, with a tutor guiding you through each topic. Assessment is by a formal written test set by City and Guilds. You'll need to pass both a non-calculator and a calculator paper to achieve the qualification. Your tutor will help you prepare for the test throughout the course.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. Workpays Leicester will confirm anything else you need before you start.

Where next

Jobs you could do

  • Warehouse operative: many roles ask for basic maths skills
  • Retail assistant: handling cash, stock counts, and pricing
  • Care assistant: recording measurements and following instructions
  • Catering assistant: weighing, measuring, and following recipes
  • Delivery driver's mate: route planning and load calculations
  • Factory operative: quality checks and basic data recording

What you could study next

Once you've completed Entry Level 3, you can move on to a Functional Skills Qualification in Mathematics at Level 1. After that, Level 2 is the recognised GCSE maths equivalent that many employers and colleges ask for. Both are available as free courses for eligible adults. If you're also working on your English, a Functional Skills Qualification in English runs alongside maths at the same levels.
