About this course

Free Functional Skills Maths Level 1 in Worthing. Classes run at Asphaleia, with daytime sessions across the week. You'll have an initial assessment to confirm Level 1 is the right starting point, and the centre will use it to plan your learning. The course covers number, measure, and data handling at a practical level, building the maths skills employers and colleges look for. It typically takes 9 months. No prior qualifications are needed to join.
