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.

Everyone at the College was really helpful, and there’s lots of facilities, meaning it’s very easy to get your work done on time, and get good grades. The teaching and support was excellent, they were always on top of it, and made sure you got work done on time and you were challenged. Everyone is friendly and its really diverse, meaning you can get involved in lots of different things.

The tutors were really supportive and it was all thanks to them that I have achieved what I have. I’ve also made loads of great friends and really enjoyed my time at the college.
