About this course

Free Functional Skills Maths Level 2 in Barking and Dagenham. Evening maths classes run at Rush Green Campus, so you can fit study around work or other commitments. This is the recognised GCSE maths equivalent: when employers ask for GCSE maths or equivalent, a Level 2 Functional Skills Maths qualification meets that requirement. The course covers number, measure, statistics, and problem-solving in everyday contexts. At 36 hours part-time, it's designed to be manageable alongside a busy schedule. You'll sit an initial assessment so the centre can confirm the right level and plan your learning.
