Functional Skills Maths
Functional Skills English
Functional Skills is made up of five different levels, three of which are entry level, leading up the Functional Skills Level 1 and Level 2.
The five levels are taught to offer you clear progression in your understanding and use of Mathematics.
What will you study?
Entry Level Maths is a government backed maths course to help progress to GCSE Maths pass grade equivalent.
These courses will help you to demonstrate that you have sound grasp and understanding of the basics around mathematics and are able to apply this to solve every day, simple mathematical problems.
The qualifications will cover:
- Numbers
- Measurements
- Data Handling
Is this course for me?
If you’re looking to apply for a new job, improve your career prospects or progress to further education, but don’t have the necessary qualification in Mathematics, Functional Skills is suitable for you. If you’ve been out of education for a while, we would encourage you to begin with the Entry Level courses first.
Functional Skills are fundamental to the successful completion of various qualifications and frameworks you may wish to undertake in the future.
Am I Eligible?
You should be between 19– 24 years of age. We encourage all who are interested to apply. No prerequisites or education is required. This course is free of charge to anyone over the age of 19.
How will I Study?
The course is delivered in person at our Sheffield campus or online. Timetables are flexible, with evening and alternative days available.
The courses are six weeks in duration, and support through dedicated tutors is provided throughout your studies with us.
The courses run every four weeks, so you can start on a date that suits you and fits around your existing commitments.
