About this course

Functional Skills Maths Level 2 Course in Birmingham. Evening classes run at South & City College Birmingham Hall Green Campus, part-time over one year.

Fees vary depending on your circumstances. Call 0121 694 5001 or visit the website for full fee information. You'll need proof of a Level 1 qualification or equivalent, plus an initial assessment to confirm the right level for you.

The course covers number, measures, statistics, and problem-solving in everyday contexts. It's the recognised GCSE maths equivalent for employment and further study. You'll finish with a Level 2 Functional Skills Qualification in Mathematics.

Who this course is for

At four of our campuses across Birmingham, we have courses aimed at improving the literacy and numeracy of adults. We offer Functional Skills to adults who would like to develop these skills beyond an entry level qualification. Our courses will help to support and develop confidence with Maths.

Entry requirements

Proof of a qualification at level 1 or equivalent and a successful initial assessment so that we can assess the functional skill level you need to be placed on.

What you will learn

  • You'll work with whole numbers, decimals, fractions, and percentages.
  • You'll use ratios and proportions to solve practical problems.
  • You'll interpret and compare data from tables, charts, and graphs.
