This course is appropriate for people who have established Maths skills at Entry Level 3 and English at Level 1 in speaking and listening, reading and writing.
You may need to sit a computer based initial assessment to indicate and evidence your current level of Maths and English.
This is not an exam-based course. Your maths skills will be assessed and developed through a folder of work and a Personal Learning Plan (PLP). Your tutor will set and mark your work, gathering evidence of your progress. On successful completion of all three terms, you can apply for Functional Skills Maths or a Level 1 Maths Course. Maths skills are valuable in many jobs, helping you develop problem-solving, reasoning, and communication skills.
If you have already achieved GCSE Maths grade C/4 or higher then maths courses will not be free for you and you will need to pay a fee, please discuss this with college staff when you come to enrol.
Please bring an A4 writing pad, a black/blue pen, coloured pens, and a calculator to your first class. You'll be working on sums from the start, so having these resources will be helpful.
Please note that tutors may occasionally be changed at short notice. While teaching styles may vary, we ensure consistent quality across all of our courses. For this reason, a change of tutor does not qualify for a refund.
