About this course

Free Functional Skills Maths Level 2 in Hull. Classes run at The Avenues Adult Education Centre. Daytime sessions run part-time over 26 weeks, so you can fit study around other commitments. This level 2 functional skills maths course covers number, measure, shape, and data. It's the recognised GCSE maths equivalent: when employers ask for GCSE maths or equivalent, a Functional Skills Level 2 certificate meets that requirement. You'll have an initial assessment before you start to confirm this is the right level for you. You must be 19 or over to enrol.

Who this course is for

This course is for anyone wanting to improve your maths skills and gain a nationally recognised qualification to allow you to access further study or employment opportunities.

Entry requirements

Learners are required to be 19+ years old on or before the 31 August of the forthcoming academic year in order to be eligible.

An Initial Assessment session will be carried out before commencement of course to ensure you are studying at the correct level.

What you will learn

  • You'll work with numbers and the number system, including fractions, decimals, and percentages.
  • You'll use common measures, shape, and space to solve practical problems.
  • You'll interpret and use data, charts, and graphs.
  • You'll apply maths to everyday situations, from budgeting to reading timetables.
  • You'll use problem-solving to find solutions across a range of real contexts.
  • You'll connect skills across different areas of maths to tackle multi-step tasks.

How you will learn

You'll learn in a classroom at The Avenues Adult Education Centre, with a tutor guiding you through each topic week by week. Assessment is by a written exam set by Pearson Edexcel. Before the exam, you'll practise applying maths across a range of tasks. Your initial assessment session helps the centre plan your learning from the right starting point.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. The Avenues Adult Education Centre will confirm anything else you need before you start.
