What you will learn

  • You'll use numbers confidently, including fractions, decimals, and percentages.
  • You'll interpret and work with data presented in tables, charts, and graphs.
  • You'll solve problems involving ratio, proportion, and scale.
  • You'll apply maths to real financial contexts, such as budgeting and calculating costs.
  • You'll use measures, shapes, and space, including area, perimeter, and volume.
  • You'll check and interpret results to decide whether answers are reasonable.

How you will learn

You study online and complete a written external exam set by TQUK to gain the qualification. Before the exam, you'll work through online learning materials and practice tasks that build your skills across all the topics. Your initial assessment helps place you at the right starting point and shapes your learning plan.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. Halesowen College Whittingham Road will confirm anything else you need before you start.

Where next

Jobs you could do

  • Administration assistant: many roles require a maths qualification at this level.
  • Accounts or finance assistant: supports bookkeeping and financial processing tasks.
  • Retail supervisor: stock, pricing, and cash-handling all draw on Level 2 maths.
  • Healthcare support worker: numeracy is checked at recruitment in most NHS trusts.
  • Teaching assistant: schools expect a functional skills maths certificate or GCSE equivalent.
  • Warehouse or logistics coordinator: works with quantities, weights, and delivery schedules.

What you could study next

A free functional skills maths course at Level 2 opens the door to further study. You could move into a vocational qualification in your chosen sector, many of which require Level 2 maths as an entry condition. If you want to go further with maths itself, GCSE Maths (if studying at a school or college centre) or a Level 3 qualification in a numeracy-heavy field such as accounting, engineering, or data analysis are natural next steps. AAT Level 2 in accounting is one popular route for people who want to build on strong number skills.
