How you will learn

You'll learn through classroom-based sessions at Thornton-Cleveleys Red Marsh School, with flexible daytime attendance to suit your needs. Learning is practical and activity-based, covering maths in real everyday contexts. Assessment is ongoing and task-based rather than a single formal exam, so your progress is measured through the work you do during the course.

What you could study next

Once you complete this Entry Level 3 Award, you could move on to a Functional Skills Maths Level 1 Qualification, which covers more complex everyday maths.
