About this course

Free Functional Skills Maths Level 2 in Wolverhampton. Classes run at Nova Training Bushbury. This course is open to learners aged 16 to 18 and runs full-time during the day, typically over 13 weeks. You'll develop both the underpinning maths skills and the ability to apply them in different real contexts. Level 2 Functional Skills Maths is the recognised GCSE maths equivalent; when employers ask for GCSE maths or equivalent, this qualification meets that requirement.

Who this course is for

The Functional Skills qualification is intended for anyone wishing to develop their maths and English. You will focus on both the underpinning skills as well as the ability to apply maths and English to different contexts.

  • You'll develop problem-solving skills using mathematical reasoning.

You'll study in a classroom at Nova Training Bushbury, with a focus on both skills practice and applying maths to different contexts.

Where next

Jobs you could do

  • Administration assistant: many employers require a maths qualification at this level.
  • Retail supervisor: stock, pricing, and cash-handling roles need solid numeracy.
  • Accounts clerk: entry-level finance work often lists GCSE maths or equivalent.
  • Healthcare support worker: numeracy is checked at NHS application stage.
  • Warehouse operative: picking, packing, and logistics roles use measurement and data.
  • Apprentice in any trade: most apprenticeship frameworks require Level 2 maths.

What you could study next

With a Level 2 Functional Skills Maths certificate, you can move on to a wide range of further study. Options include a Level 3 qualification in your chosen subject area, a BTEC or A-level equivalent, or an apprenticeship that requires Level 2 maths as an entry condition. If you also need English at Level 2, a Functional Skills English Level 2 course is a natural next step alongside or after this qualification.
