About this Event
Improving your maths skills can help you in so many ways, from finding employment to improving your earning potential. We can provide you with the tools to successfully communicate an idea or opinion, or divide a restaurant bill amongst friends!
We are pleased to offer a 1-week, intensive class for learners looking to fast-track themselves into completing a level 1 or level 2 Functional skills maths qualification.
This course will run Monday to Friday 9.30am - 4.30pm with the final exam being held on the following Monday and is available to learners aged 19 and above.
This course is not offered to learners who may be studying at a lower level as the intensive nature of the course is not suited to lower level learners and we would recommend attendance during one of our term-time classes.
Our next classes will begin Monday 8 July until Friday 12 July with the exam taking place on Monday 15 July.

What you'll learn (core modules)
This course will also provide you with maths skills in preparation for progressing to GCSE, university and/or employment.
You will be part of a small, friendly classroom and will focus on building everyday practical skills such as problem solving, handling information and data, calculating ratios, averages and areas of shapes and space, working towards the reformed qualification in Functional Skills mathematics.
The qualification comprises one assessment of two sections: non-calculator and calculator.
How will I be assessed?
The Functional Skills qualification consists of one externally assessed assessment, comprising two separate sections a non-calculator section (calculator prohibited) and a calculator section (calculator permitted).
There will be the opportunity to sit mock exams, in preparation, and your tutor will provide written and verbal feedback.

Where will this course take me?
