About this course

Free Functional Skills Maths Level 2 in Hartlepool. Classes run at Triage Hartlepool on a part-time daytime timetable, making it easier to fit study around other commitments. This level 2 functional skills maths course covers the numeracy skills that employers and colleges look for, and is the recognised GCSE maths equivalent when applying for jobs or further training. You'll have an initial assessment to confirm Level 2 is the right starting point, and the centre will use it to plan your learning. The course typically runs over 15 days.

Who this course is for

Functional Skills qualifications are intended to support learners as they seek to improve their literacy, numeracy and ICT skills. Achieving these qualifications should increase candidates’ confidence and motivation, and the skills they gain will be valuable in the workplace or in any further learning.

What you will learn

  • You'll work with whole numbers, fractions, decimals and percentages in practical contexts.
  • You'll interpret and compare data presented in tables, charts and graphs.
  • You'll use ratio and proportion to solve everyday problems.
  • You'll apply maths to real financial situations, including calculating costs, wages and budgets.
  • You'll measure and work with shape, space and units of measurement.
  • You'll develop problem-solving skills using mathematical reasoning.
  • You'll build the numeracy skills needed for workplace tasks and further study.

How you will learn

You'll study in a classroom at Triage Hartlepool, working through topics with tutor support. Assessment is by a written external exam set and marked by NCFE. There is no coursework component at Level 2. Your tutor will prepare you for the exam format throughout the course.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. Triage Hartlepool will confirm anything else you need before you start.

What you could study next
