About this course

Free Functional Skills Maths Level 2 in Bridlington. Classes run at East Riding College Bridlington Campus during the day, part-time, so you can fit study around other commitments. This is the recognised GCSE maths equivalent, accepted by employers and colleges in place of a GCSE grade 4 or above. The course covers number, measure, statistics, and problem-solving at Level 2. You'll have an initial assessment to confirm this is the right level for you, and the college will use it to plan your learning. The course typically runs over around 10 months.
