About this course

Free Functional Skills Maths Level 2 in Peterborough. Classes run at TCHC Fengate Peterborough GAPS Centre. You must be enrolled on a vocational qualification at one of the GAPS centres to be eligible. The course covers numbers, measures, shape and space, and handling data. At 55 hours, it's a focused level 2 functional skills maths qualification that employers recognise as a GCSE maths equivalent. You'll sit a calculator and a non-calculator exam.

Who this course is for

Young people aged 16-18 (and 16-24 with an EHCP) who would like to gain a qualification in Functional Skills Maths.

What you will learn

  • You'll work with numbers and the number system, including calculations and problem-solving.
  • You'll use common measures, shape, and space in practical contexts.
  • You'll handle and interpret data and information.
  • You'll prepare for both a calculator and a non-calculator exam.
  • You'll apply maths to everyday situations, including cost-of-living budgeting.

How you will learn

You'll study in a classroom at TCHC Fengate Peterborough GAPS Centre. The course is assessed by two exams: one where you can use a calculator and one where you cannot. Both are set by NCFE. You'll have an initial assessment to confirm Level 2 is the right starting point and to help plan your learning.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. TCHC Fengate Peterborough GAPS Centre will confirm anything else you need before you start.

Where next

Jobs you could do

  • Admin assistant: many roles require a maths qualification at this level.
  • Retail supervisor: stock, pricing, and cash-handling rely on solid numeracy.
  • Accounts clerk: entry-level finance work often lists a GCSE maths equivalent as a requirement.
  • Healthcare support worker: numeracy is checked at recruitment for most NHS and care roles.
  • Warehouse operative: picking, packing, and inventory roles use practical maths daily.
  • Apprentice in any trade: most apprenticeship frameworks require a level 2 functional skills maths certificate or GCSE.

What you could study next

Once you have your Level 2 Functional Skills Maths Certificate, you could move on to a Level 3 qualification in your vocational area, where maths at this level is often a condition of entry. If you want to go further with maths itself, a GCSE Mathematics resit or an Access to Higher Education Diploma (which includes a maths component) are natural next steps.
