About this course

The course covers applying maths to practical, everyday situations at work and in life. It runs full-time during the day over 38 weeks.

Who this course is for

This qualification focuses on applying mathematical concepts to practical, real-world situations, ensuring learners can use maths confidently in professional and personal contexts.

Entry requirements

There are no formal entry requirements for the Functional Skills Level 2 Maths course. However, it is recommended that learners have completed the Functional Skills Level 1 Maths course or have a similar level of mathematical ability. Learners should ideally have a basic understanding of arithmetic and simple algebra.

An initial assessment may be required to determine the learner's current skill level and ensure that the course is appropriate.
