About this course

Free Functional Skills Maths Level 2 in Leicester. Classes run at Workpays Leicester. You'll have an initial assessment to confirm this is the right level for you. The course covers the maths skills employers look for, from working with numbers and data to solving problems in everyday contexts. It's the recognised GCSE maths equivalent, so when employers ask for GCSE maths or equivalent, this qualification counts. The course takes around 55 hours, with daytime classes on a flexible schedule.

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.
  • You'll interpret and use data presented in tables, charts, and graphs.
  • You'll apply maths to solve problems in work and everyday situations.
  • You'll use ratio and proportion in practical contexts.
  • You'll calculate with measurements, including area, perimeter, and volume.
  • You'll develop your ability to check and explain your working clearly.

How you will learn

You'll study in a classroom at Workpays Leicester, with flexible daytime attendance. Learning is hands-on and applied, using real-world problems and contexts. Assessment is by a written exam set by City and Guilds. You'll need to pass both a non-calculator and a calculator paper to earn the qualification.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. Workpays Leicester will confirm anything else you need before you start.
