Functional Skills Maths – Level 2
About this course
Functional Skills Mathematics qualifications are designed to equip learners with essential mathematical skills that are relevant to the workplace, further education, and everyday life. These qualifications provide a robust assessment of a learner’s underpinning knowledge as well as their ability to apply mathematical thinking in a variety of practical contexts.
Functional Skills Maths is a nationally recognised qualification that shows you can use numbers, measures and data to solve practical problems at home, at work and in further study. It is regulated by Ofqual and is accepted by employers, colleges and apprenticeship providers.

How the course works
Your South Cumbria Skills Exchange tutor starts from what you can already do and works at a pace that suits you. Before you begin we check your current level, so you join the course that suits you and can move up a level when you are ready.
Assessment
At the end of the course you sit the Functional Skills assessments for this level. These test your number skills and your ability to solve practical, real-life problems; at Level 1 and Level 2 part of the assessment is taken without a calculator. Your tutor makes sure you are ready before you take them.
What comes next
When you pass, you can move on to the next level of Functional Skills Maths, or use the qualification for work, training or an apprenticeship.
