About this course

Free Entry Level Functional Skills Maths Course in Newark. Classes run at Dukeries Campus, full-time during the day. You'll have an initial assessment to confirm that this entry level functional skills maths qualification is the right starting point, and the centre will use it to plan your learning. The course covers everyday maths skills including numbers, measures, and handling data. It typically takes 11 months to complete. For many employers, a functional skills maths certificate at Level 2 is the recognised GCSE maths equivalent, and this course builds the foundation for that.
