Do you need to gain a national Maths qualification to show you have a good level of mathematical competence? Functional Skills Level 2 Maths shows employers and others that your Maths skills are at a good level and that you can use skills to solve complex issues in a variety of situations. You will develop your maths to become a problem-solver, analyser and decision-maker.
