About this course

Free Level 2 Functional Skills Maths Course in Waltham Forest. Classes run at Kelmscott School, full-time during the day. This functional skills maths course focuses on maths you can actually use: everyday situations, problem-solving, and the kind of numerical thinking employers value. It's a recognised gcse maths equivalent, so when employers ask for GCSE maths or equivalent, this qualification counts. The course typically takes one year. You'll sit an AQA assessment at the end.

Who this course is for

Functional Mathematics Level 1 and Level 2 (4367, 4368) aims to promote mathematical thinking and transferable skills rather than rote learning. Students will also cover:

1. Maths that is useful in everyday situations and the world of work 2. contextual material which emphasises the benefits of Maths to people who have been 'turned off' by the subject.
