Description:
This 18 week online Functional Skills Maths qualification course will help you to improve your maths skills for real life, work and learning. You will learn how to solve everyday problems using numbers, fractions, decimals, percentages, measures, shapes and data handling. The aim is to support you to gain a City & Guilds Level 1 Functional Skills Maths qualification and to feel more confident using maths in practical situations
This is an intensive fast-track version of our Level 1 Functional Skills Maths course. It requires a high level of commitment. Success relies on your ability to complete a significant amount of homework tasks, attend all taught sessions and to have maths skills at an appropriate level. Before begin accepted on this course, you’ll take an online assessment, and a tutor will contact you to make sure this course is right for you or signpost you to a more suitable option.
This course is only for learners who do not already have a GCSE or equivalent pass grade in maths (C/ 4 or above) - your learning will be free as a result. This course is perfect for those who wish to progress to a Level 2 maths qualification in the future. The qualification is usually taken by those with English as their first language, but learners with fluent skills who speak English as an additional language may also benefit from the course.
Additional Information: As this is an online course using Microsoft Teams, you will need to be able to connect to the internet using a computer with a separate keyboard. Connecting using a mobile phone or any device (e.g. tablet) with an onscreen keyboard will not be possible. You will also need access to a printer. If you do not have one, you could use the printing services at your local library.
Most of our courses are subsidised either wholly or in part by the Adult Skills Fund (ASF). The ASF require us to collect information about our learners to monitor how their funding is being spent and to gauge the effectiveness of our equality and diversity policy.

We may not be able to offer you a place on our courses if you're unable to provide us with the required information. We endeavour to continue to provide free and subsidised courses for the people of Worcestershire. We thank you for your cooperation.
