About this course

Free Functional Skills Maths Level 2 in Rotherham. Classes run at Rotherham College. Daytime sessions over 18 weeks make this a manageable option if you're fitting study around other commitments. This level 2 functional skills maths course covers the maths skills employers ask for, from working with numbers and percentages to interpreting data and solving problems. It's the recognised GCSE maths equivalent, so when employers ask for GCSE maths or equivalent, this qualification counts.

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.
