About this course

Free Functional Skills Maths Level 2 in Cambridge. Classes run at Coleridge Community College, with daytime sessions designed to fit around other commitments. This level 2 functional skills maths course covers everyday maths including money, time, distance, shape, and position. It typically takes 6 months part-time. The qualification is the recognised GCSE maths equivalent, so when employers ask for GCSE maths or equivalent, this counts.

Where next

Jobs you could do

  • Administration assistant: many roles ask for a maths qualification at this level.
  • Care assistant: employers and regulators often require GCSE maths or equivalent.
  • Teaching assistant: schools typically require a Level 2 maths qualification.
  • Retail supervisor: stock, cash handling, and reporting all draw on this level.
  • Accounts clerk or finance assistant: a stepping stone toward bookkeeping roles.
  • Apprentice in any sector: most apprenticeships require Level 2 maths to complete.

What you could study next

Once you hold the Level 2 Functional Skills Maths Certificate, you could move on to a GCSE Maths resit if you need the GCSE grade specifically.

Functional Skills English Level 2 is a natural companion qualification if you want to strengthen both sides of your application.
