About this course

Free Functional Skills Maths Level 1 in Coventry. Evening maths classes run at Southfields Adult Education Centre, so you can fit study around work or other commitments. 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 runs over 85 hours part-time. Level 1 sits just below the GCSE maths equivalent, making it a strong step toward Level 2. It covers number, measure, and data handling in everyday contexts.
