About this course

Free Functional Skills Maths Level 2 Course. Study online. You can work through the course at your own pace, fitting study around your existing commitments. This is the recognised GCSE maths equivalent for adults, accepted by employers and colleges in place of a GCSE grade 4 or above. The course runs over 33 weeks. You'll have an initial assessment to confirm Level 2 is the right starting point, and York Learning will use it to plan your learning.

Who this course is for

Anyone who does not already have a qualification at Level 2 (GCSE 4+) or above in Maths

Entry requirements

This course is funded for learners in the York and North Yorkshire area. If you live outside of this area, we recommend contacting your local adult education provider.

What you will learn

  • You'll work with whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and percentages
  • You'll interpret and use ratios and proportional reasoning
  • You'll read, interpret, and construct charts, tables, and graphs
  • You'll use formulae and solve problems involving measures and geometry
  • You'll apply maths to real-world contexts such as finance, measurement, and data
  • You'll develop problem-solving strategies for multi-step calculations

How you will learn

You'll study online, working through materials at your own pace. Assessment is by a written online exam, which tests your ability to apply maths across a range of practical contexts. York Learning will support you throughout and confirm the exam arrangements before you sit it.

Where next

Jobs you could do

  • Administration assistant: many roles require a maths qualification at Level 2
  • Accounts clerk or bookkeeper: numerical accuracy is a core requirement
  • Healthcare support worker: NHS entry roles often ask for a GCSE maths equivalent
  • Teaching assistant: schools typically require Level 2 maths as a minimum
  • Retail supervisor: stock, pricing, and cash-handling roles need solid numeracy
  • Warehouse team leader: scheduling and inventory work involves applied maths
  • Apprentice in any sector: most apprenticeships require Level 2 maths to complete

What you could study next

Once you hold a Level 2 functional skills maths qualification, you can move on to a Level 3 qualification in a subject that interests you, such as a BTEC, Access to Higher Education Diploma, or A Level equivalent. If you want to strengthen your English alongside maths, a Functional Skills English Level 2 course runs on a similar basis. Both are commonly required together for apprenticeships and further study.
