About this course

Free Level 2 GCSE (9-1) in Maths Course in Bury Saint Edmunds. Classes run at University and Professional Development Centre. Daytime sessions run part-time over one year, making it manageable alongside other commitments. Before you start, you'll complete a maths diagnostic test so tutors can confirm the GCSE (9-1) in Maths Qualification is the right level for you. If you'd benefit from brushing up first, the centre will advise a Functional Skills course beforehand. The course covers the full AQA GCSE (9-1) in Maths syllabus, assessed by written exams.

Who this course is for

Each individual will be fully assessed by our professional tutors and advised which qualification would best suit his/her needs. Students often find attending a functional skills class beneficial prior to starting GCSE to brush up on basic Maths skills particularly if you have not studied Maths recently.

Entry requirements

During our welcome sessions we will ask you to complete a Maths diagnostic test to ensure you have the necessary skills required for GCSE, if not we will advise you to attend a Functional skills course prior to GCSE. These courses are 14 weeks in length and start in September and February.

What you will learn

  • You'll develop number skills, including fractions, decimals, percentages, and ratio.
  • You'll work with algebra, solving equations and using formulae.
  • You'll interpret and analyse data using statistics and probability.
  • You'll apply geometry and measures, including area, volume, and angles.
  • You'll tackle problem-solving questions using mathematical reasoning.
  • You'll practise exam technique for the AQA GCSE (9-1) format.

How you will learn

You'll attend classroom-based daytime sessions at University and Professional Development Centre. Learning is delivered through taught lessons, practice questions, and worked examples. Assessment is by written examinations set by AQA, in line with the GCSE (9-1) format. There is no coursework component. The course runs for one year, with start points in September and February.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. University and Professional Development Centre will confirm anything else you need before you start.
