About this course

Functional Skills Maths Level 2. Study online, at your own pace, over around 9 months. This level 2 functional skills maths course is the recognised GCSE maths equivalent, accepted by employers and colleges when they ask for GCSE maths or equivalent. You'll cover number, measures, statistics, and problem-solving in everyday contexts. The course fits around work and other commitments, so you don't need to attend classes. You'll sit an assessment to confirm the right starting level before you begin.
