About this course

Free Maths Course Entry Level 1 in Grays. Classes run at TCHC Thurrock GAPS Centre, full-time during the day. This entry level maths course covers number skills, measures, shape and space, and handling data. You'll also get support with everyday budgeting. Note that you need to be enrolled on a vocational qualification at one of the GAPS centres to join this course. You'll sit a calculator and a non-calculator exam.

Who this course is for

Young people aged 16-18 (and 16-24 with an EHCP) who would like to gain a qualification in maths.

What you will learn

  • You'll work with numbers and the number system
  • You'll use common measures, shape and space
  • You'll handle and interpret data and information
  • You'll apply maths to everyday cost-of-living and budgeting situations
  • You'll practise both calculator and non-calculator maths

How you will learn

You'll study in a classroom at TCHC Thurrock GAPS Centre. Assessment is by two exams: one where you can use a calculator and one where you cannot. Teaching covers number skills, measures, shape and space, and data handling. You'll also receive support with careers guidance, mentoring, and access to work experience opportunities alongside your maths classes.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. TCHC Thurrock GAPS Centre will confirm anything else you need before you start.

Where next

Jobs you could do

  • Retail assistant: basic number skills used daily at the till
  • Warehouse operative: counting, measuring, and stock checking
  • Care assistant: recording numbers and following instructions accurately
  • Kitchen assistant: weighing, measuring, and following recipes
  • Cleaner or caretaker: reading instructions and measuring quantities

What you could study next

Once you complete this entry level maths qualification, you could move on to a Functional Skills Maths Entry Level 2 or Entry Level 3 Course. From there, Functional Skills Maths Level 1 and then Level 2 are the next steps. Level 2 is the recognised equivalent to a GCSE maths pass, which many employers ask for. Each level builds on the last, so you progress at a pace that works for you.
