About this course

This full-time daytime course runs over 13 weeks and covers both the core maths skills and how to apply them in everyday and work situations. A Level 2 functional skills maths qualification is the recognised GCSE maths equivalent, accepted by employers and colleges when they ask for GCSE maths or equivalent. You'll have an initial assessment to confirm this is the right level for you. You must be aged 16 to 18 to enrol.
