Functional Skills Mathematics qualifications are designed to help learners build confidence in using maths and to develop a strong foundation for employment, further study, and everyday life. The skills gained enable learners to apply mathematical thinking to real situations and solve practical problems effectively.
At Level 1 and Level 2, the qualification demonstrates a solid understanding of mathematical concepts at the appropriate level and the ability to use these skills successfully in both workplace and real‑life contexts.
How the Course Is Delivered
Our distance learning courses are completed entirely online, so there is no requirement to attend college in person. However, you are welcome to come into college if you feel you would benefit from additional support.

- Introduce learners to new areas of life and work so that they are exposed to concepts and problems which, while not of immediate concern, may be of value in later life
- Enable learners to develop an appreciation of the role played by mathematics in the world of work and in life generally
You will work through Formative assessments and sit an exam at the end of each of the unit.
There are no specific recommended prior learning requirements for this qualification, however you must:
