Overview

This course is designed to assess your current working level and then to progress you from that level forward. You can work through a range of smaller stepping stone units to help grow your confidence in areas such as number, measure, shape, space and data. This will then give you the opportunity to work up the levels from Entry 1 to Level 2. You will be required to come in for an initial assessment before you can enrol on this course.

Please contact our Admissions Team on 023 9387 9999 to arrange your initial assessment before applying.

This course is for students who do not have a grade C/4 or above in GCSE Maths. If you have already achieved a Level 2 Functional Skill in Maths it is suggested that you progress to a GCSE Maths Course. You will be required to come in for an initial assessment before you can enrol on this course.

I’m very, very happy, I didn’t expect to do so well. The College has been helpful and supportive. I loved my courses, and the teachers were really good – every single one of them. The facilities are great, but it’s the staff that really make this place.

Matthew Randell, A Level student

My experience at the College was great, it’s very different to school, and I think it’s a good step to going to university. The support was amazing, I loved all of my teachers, they helped me through everything. The College is friendly and you will succeed.

Heidi Adamson Brattland, A Level student

This is a really good college, and it is definitely somewhere you can achieve your dreams.
