About this course

Functional Skills Maths Level 2 in Lincoln. Classes run at Lincoln College, part-time over 34 weeks with day or block release attendance. This level 2 functional skills maths course covers the maths skills employers ask for, from working with numbers and percentages to interpreting data and solving problems. The Pearson Edexcel qualification is the recognised GCSE maths equivalent, so when employers ask for GCSE maths or equivalent, this meets that standard. You'll have an initial assessment to confirm Level 2 is the right starting point and to plan your learning.

Who this course is for

Courses for those aged 18+ who want to gain a nationally recognised qualification, improve their maths skills and feel more confident about maths in everyday life.

What you will learn

  • You'll work with whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and percentages in practical contexts.
  • You'll interpret and use ratio and proportion.
  • You'll read, interpret, and draw graphs, charts, and tables.
  • You'll use basic geometry, including area, perimeter, and volume.
  • You'll apply statistics to compare and summarise data.
  • You'll solve multi-step maths problems in real-life situations.
  • You'll use a calculator accurately and check your answers.

How you will learn

You'll study in a classroom at Lincoln College, working through topics with a tutor and practising problem-solving individually and in groups. Assessment is by a written external exam set by Pearson Edexcel. There is no coursework component. The exam tests your ability to apply maths skills to everyday and work-related problems, and you must pass the external exam to earn the qualification.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. Lincoln College will confirm anything else you need before you start.

What you could study next

With a Level 2 functional skills maths qualification, you can move into a wide range of further study. A Level 3 qualification in your chosen field, such as a T Level, Access to Higher Education Diploma, or vocational Level 3 Diploma, often requires maths at this level as an entry condition. If you want to go further with maths itself, GCSE Mathematics is the natural next step for those aiming at A-level or degree-level study.
