About this course

Free Functional Skills Maths Level 2 in Corby. Classes run at Workpays Corby. This level 2 functional skills maths course covers the maths skills that employers look for, including working with numbers, measurements, and data. It's the recognised GCSE maths equivalent, so when employers ask for GCSE maths or equivalent, this qualification meets that standard. The course runs during the daytime and takes around 55 hours. You'll have an initial assessment to confirm Functional Skills Maths Level 2 is the right level for you. Ideally, you'll have completed Level 1 maths or be able to show you're working at that level already.

Who this course is for

This course is designed for people looking to improve their maths skills and currently do not have a recognised qualification at Level 2. It will also help to improve employability, communication and anaylsis skills, which are helpful in all areas.

Entry requirements

Ideally, you will have completed the Level 1 course or either have qualifications already at Level 2 or are able to show working ability at Level 2.

What you will learn

  • You'll work with whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and percentages in practical contexts.
  • You'll interpret and use data from tables, charts, and graphs.

  • You'll use ratio and proportion to solve everyday problems.
  • You'll understand and use basic statistical methods to analyse information.
  • You'll develop the analytical skills that support work across many sectors.

How you will learn

You'll study in a classroom at Workpays Corby, with flexible daytime attendance. Learning is supported by a tutor and includes practice tasks, worked examples, and problem-solving activities. Assessment is by a written exam set and marked by City and Guilds. There is no coursework portfolio for this qualification; the exam tests your ability to apply maths across a range of practical situations.
