About this course

Free Functional Skills Maths Level 2 Course in Nottingham. Classes run at Landmarks Nottingham, with a mix of online study and time at the centre. This free functional skills maths course runs full-time during the day and typically takes one year to complete.

  • You'll work with whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and percentages in practical contexts.
  • You'll use ratios and proportional reasoning to solve real problems.

How you will learn
