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. We will assess and develop your maths skills 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 time management skills.
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 beneficial.
