About this course

Free Functional Skills Maths Level 1 in Hull. Classes run at The Avenues Adult Education Centre. Daytime sessions run part-time over 26 weeks, so you can fit study around other commitments. This level 1 functional skills maths course covers numbers, measures, shape and space, and using data to solve everyday problems. Level 1 is a stepping stone toward Level 2, the recognised GCSE maths equivalent that many employers ask for. You'll have an initial assessment before you start to confirm this is the right level for you. You must be 19 or over to enrol.

Who this course is for

This course is for anyone wanting to improve your maths skills and gain a nationally recognised qualification to allow you to access further study or employment opportunities.

Entry requirements

Learners are required to be 19+ years old on or before the 31 August of the forthcoming academic year in order to be eligible.

An Initial Assessment session will be carried out before commencement of course to ensure you are studying at the correct level.

What you will learn

  • You'll work with whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and percentages in practical contexts.
  • You'll use common measures including length, weight, capacity, and time.
  • You'll interpret and use information from charts, tables, and graphs.
  • You'll apply shape and space skills to solve straightforward problems.
  • You'll use problem-solving approaches to handle everyday maths situations.
  • You'll develop a more positive and confident relationship with maths.

How you will learn

You'll study in a classroom at The Avenues Adult Education Centre, with tutor-led sessions and group work. Assessment is through a formal written exam set by Pearson Edexcel. Before the course begins, you'll complete an initial assessment to confirm you're working at the right level.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. The Avenues Adult Education Centre will confirm anything else you need before you start.

Where next

Jobs you could do

  • Warehouse operative: many roles ask for a maths qualification at Level 1 or above.
  • Retail assistant: stock counting, cash handling, and pricing all draw on these skills.
  • Care assistant: numeracy is checked during care sector recruitment and training.
  • Catering assistant: measuring, portioning, and ordering require solid number skills.
  • Apprentice in any trade: most apprenticeship programmes require Level 1 maths as a minimum.

What you could study next

The natural next step is Functional Skills Maths Level 2, the recognised GCSE maths alternative that employers and colleges most commonly ask for. From there, you could move into a vocational qualification, an apprenticeship, or an Access to Higher Education Diploma if you're considering university. The centre also offers Entry Level 3 if the initial assessment suggests you'd benefit from starting there first.
