About this course

Free Functional Skills Maths Level 2 in Worksop. Classes run at North Notts College. Daytime sessions run part-time over 18 weeks, making it manageable alongside other commitments. This level 2 functional skills maths course covers the maths skills employers ask for: working with numbers, measures, data, and problem-solving in everyday contexts. Functional Skills Maths Level 2 is the recognised GCSE maths equivalent. When employers ask for GCSE maths or equivalent, this qualification meets that requirement. You'll sit an initial assessment so the college can confirm the level is right for you and plan your learning from there.

Who this course is for

The course is designed for entrants to roles in which they want to develop their stills, progression and/or career opportunities. Please see the RNN Group course website for further information and advice.

  • You'll use ratio and proportion in everyday situations.
  • You'll develop accuracy and checking strategies to verify your answers.

How you will learn

You'll attend classroom-based sessions at North Notts College during the day. Learning is delivered face to face, with tutor support throughout.
