About this course

Free Functional Skills Maths Level 2 in Carlisle. Classes run at PHX Training Carlisle. You'll have an initial assessment to confirm this is the right level for you, and the centre will use it to plan your learning. This level 2 functional skills maths course covers applying mathematical thinking to solve problems in work and everyday life. It's the GCSE maths equivalent that employers and colleges recognise when they ask for GCSE Maths or equivalent. The course runs over 8 weeks with daytime attendance.

Who this course is for

The purpose of the Functional Skills Mathematics Level 2 qualification is to demonstrate both mathematical skills at the appropriate level and the ability to apply mathematical thinking effectively to solve problems successfully in the workplace and in other real life situations.

Entry requirements

A diagnosed learning need at this level from assessments and no previous qualifications in this area at the same/or higher level

What you will learn

  • You'll work with numbers, including fractions, decimals, and percentages.
  • You'll interpret and use data presented in charts, tables, and graphs.
  • You'll apply ratio and proportion to solve practical problems.
