About this course

Free Functional Skills Maths Level 2 in Basildon. Classes run at Basildon GAPS Trade Centre. You must be enrolled on a vocational qualification at one of the GAPS centres to be eligible. This level 2 functional skills maths course covers numbers, measures, shape and space, and handling data. It takes around 55 hours of full-time daytime study. The Level 2 qualification is the recognised GCSE maths equivalent, accepted by employers and colleges when they ask for GCSE maths or equivalent.

Who this course is for

Young people aged 16-18 (and 16-24 with an EHCP) who would like to gain a qualification in Functional Skills Maths.

What you will learn

  • You'll work with numbers and the number system, including calculations with and without a calculator.
  • You'll use common measures, shape, and space in practical contexts.
  • You'll handle and interpret data and information.
  • You'll sit a calculator exam and a non-calculator exam as part of your assessment.
  • You'll apply maths to everyday situations, including cost-of-living budgeting.

How you will learn

Classes are delivered in a classroom at Basildon GAPS Trade Centre during the day. Assessment is by two exams: one where you can use a calculator and one where you cannot. You'll have an initial assessment to confirm that Level 2 is the right starting point for you, and the centre will use it to plan your learning.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. Basildon GAPS Trade Centre will confirm anything else you need before you start.

What you could study next
