About this course

GCSE Maths in Westminster. Evening classes run at City of Westminster College Paddington Green, so you can fit study around work or other commitments.

The course runs over 34 weeks, part-time. You'll cover number, algebra, ratio, geometry, probability, and statistics. These are the topics that appear in the Pearson Edexcel GCSE Maths exam. Entry requirements are assessed individually, so you don't need to meet a fixed prior level to apply.
