About this course

Free Functional Skills Maths Level 1 Course in Warsop. Classes run at Warsop Health Hub, part-time on Tuesday evenings over 22 weeks.

The course covers everyday maths in three areas: numbers and calculations, shapes and measuring, and reading data and charts. You'll work through real situations like budgeting, measuring spaces, and understanding probability. It's a recognised GCSE maths alternative for adults who don't yet hold a grade 4 or above.

You'll sit an initial assessment before you start, so the course is pitched at the right level for you. You'll finish with a City and Guilds Functional Skills Qualification in Mathematics at Level 1.
