A practical task-based approach
Maths at City Lit is part of our Universal Skills (US) for life programme. We help you gain the skills you need to PARTICIPATE fully in society, make PROGRESS in work or education and EXPRESS yourself well. We offer courses with qualifications from Functional Skills to GCSE as well as some courses without exams.
Our practical task-based approach to learning means the Maths emerges in contexts familiar to you whether this is work, the news or helping your children with their homework.
For example, on our Maths for Administrators course, for instance, you will be doing tasks an administrator does such as working out yearly costs of stationery, calculating percentage expenditure on sick pay and working out how much VAT needs paying.
We don’t just feed you the maths. You will work together to solve meaningful problems that develop key transferable skills needed in any workplace whatever your job, whatever your level.
