About this course

Free Functional Skills Maths Level 2 in Launceston. Classes run at Launceston Adult Learning Centre. Daytime sessions run part-time over 22 weeks, making it manageable alongside caring responsibilities or other commitments. This level 2 functional skills maths course covers the maths skills that employers and colleges recognise as a GCSE maths equivalent. You'll work with numbers, measures, and data in practical, everyday contexts. When employers ask for GCSE maths or equivalent, a functional skills maths certificate at Level 2 meets that requirement.
