Who this course is for

The skills standards contained within each qualification provide learners with knowledge, skills and a problem-solving approach that can be used in work, life and further learning.

  • You'll work with simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
  • You'll read and interpret basic data, such as tables and charts.
  • You'll handle money, measurements, and time in practical situations.
  • You'll apply a problem-solving approach to tasks from daily life and work.

How you will learn

It includes a written test that covers the skills from the qualification's standards. Your tutor will prepare you for the assessment throughout the course.
