About this course

Free Functional Skills Maths Level 1 Course in Middlesbrough. Classes run at Redcar and Cleveland Training and Employment Hub, part-time during the day.

You'll study number, fractions, decimals, percentages, measures, and basic statistics. The course runs over 20 weeks at a manageable pace, making it a practical option if you have other commitments.

You'll complete a short initial assessment before you start, so you join at the right level. You finish with a Level 1 Functional Skills Qualification in Mathematics.

Who this course is for

If you would like to develop your maths skills for further learning or employment, gain a nationally recognised qualification (up to Level 2), or wish to develop your confidence using maths in everyday situations, this is the right course for you!

Entry requirements

There are no entry requirements, but we ask all learners to complete a short initial and diagnostic assessment before the course starts so we can enrol you on the right level.

What you will learn

  • You'll work with whole numbers, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
  • You'll calculate with fractions, decimals, and percentages in everyday contexts.
  • You'll use measures, including length, weight, capacity, and time.
  • You'll read and interpret simple charts, tables, and graphs.
  • You'll solve practical maths problems linked to work and daily life.
  • You'll check and correct your own calculations.

How you will learn

You'll learn in a classroom with a tutor. Sessions are part-time and run during the day. The course is assessed through a written on-screen or paper-based exam set by City and Guilds. There is no coursework portfolio. You'll practise exam-style questions throughout the course to build familiarity with the test format.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. Redcar and Cleveland Training and Employment Hub will confirm anything else you need before you start.
