The course runs over 18 months. It's a strong starting point if you want to build toward a GCSE maths alternative at a higher level.

Who this course is for

Students of our Entry Level Certificate in Mathematics will learn to use and apply mathematics in practical tasks, in real-life problems and within mathematics itself, focusing on number and algebra, shape, space and measures, and handling data.

  • You'll work with algebra at an introductory level.
  • You'll explore shape, space, and measures in real-life contexts.
  • You'll collect, organise, and interpret data.
  • You'll solve mathematical problems drawn from everyday situations.

How you will learn

You'll learn through classroom sessions at Grange Park School, working on practical tasks and real-life maths problems. Assessment is through tasks and a written test set by Pearson Edexcel. You must pass both to earn the qualification.

  • Care assistant: recording observations and following instructions with numbers.

What you could study next

Once you've completed Entry Level 1, you can move on to the Functional Skills qualification in Mathematics at Entry Level 2, then Entry Level 3.
