About this course

Functional Skills Maths Level 2. Study online at your own pace. This level 2 functional skills maths course takes around 6 months and fits around work, family, or other commitments. It covers the maths skills you need for everyday life and employment, from working with numbers and percentages to interpreting data and solving practical problems. When employers ask for GCSE maths or equivalent, a level 2 functional skills maths qualification meets that requirement. You'll sit an external exam to complete the course.

Who this course is for

In line with the Department for Education’s (DfE) Maths Functional Skills subject content, Functional Skills mathematics qualifications should enable the learner to develop confidence in using mathematics and provide a foundation for progression into employment or further technical education and develop skills for everyday life, where the skills gained can be applied to solve mathematical problems.

Entry requirements

These qualifications are designed for learners aged 19 and above. There are no specific recommended prior learning requirements for these qualifications. However, learners may find it helpful if they’ve already achieved a Level 1 qualification.

What you will learn

  • You'll work with whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and percentages in practical contexts.
  • You'll interpret and use data from tables, charts, and graphs.
  • You'll apply maths to solve problems involving money, time, and measurement.
  • You'll use ratio and proportion in real-world situations.
  • You'll understand and work with basic statistics and probability.
  • You'll develop the skills to check and verify your own calculations.

How you will learn

You study online, working through material at a pace that suits you. Assessment is by an externally set and marked exam. You'll have an initial assessment when you enrol so the course can be planned at the right level for you. JAG Training will confirm the exam booking process and any online support available before you start.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. JAG Training will confirm anything else you need before you start.

Where next

Jobs you could do

  • Administrator: many roles ask for a functional skills maths certificate or GCSE equivalent.
  • Healthcare support worker: numeracy is checked at interview or induction.
  • Teaching assistant: schools require a gcse maths alternative at Level 2.
  • Accounts assistant: basic maths qualification supports entry-level finance roles.
  • Retail supervisor: stock, pricing, and cash-handling roles need confident numeracy.
  • Warehouse operative: measurement, data entry, and stock counting require Level 2 maths.

What you could study next

Once you hold the Level 2 Functional Skills Maths Qualification, you could move on to a GCSE Maths resit if you want a graded qualification for university entry. Alternatively, many Level 3 vocational courses, including T Levels, apprenticeships, and Access to Higher Education Diplomas, accept Level 2 Functional Skills Maths as a condition of entry. A free maths course at Level 3 Core Maths is another option if you want to build further.
