What will I achieve? By the end of this course you should be able to...
By the end of this course, you should be able to: • Carry out calculations using whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and percentages • Use measurements for length, weight, capacity, and time • Read and interpret graphs, tables, and charts • Estimate, check and solve mathematical problems • Apply maths confidently in work and everyday life • Be fully prepared to take the Pearson Functional Skills Maths Level 1 exam
What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?
This is a Level 1 course. An initial assessment will help determine if it is suitable for you. It is intended for learners who want to develop everyday numeracy and problem-solving skills.
You should have: • Basic Numeracy Skills: e.g., number recognition, basic addition/subtraction • Commitment and Motivation: Consistent attendance and engagement is required • Logical Thinking: Ability to approach problems methodically • Willingness to Learn: Confidence will grow with regular practice and participation
How will I be taught, and will there be any work outside the class?
You will learn in a supportive, interactive environment through practical activities, group work, and individual exercises. Your learning will be supported through Google Classroom, where you'll access resources, practice materials, and tutor feedback. Classes are taught onsite at the college, and homework taskswill be set weekly to reinforce learning.
When I've finished, what course can I do next?
Completing Functional Skills Maths Level 1 allows you to progress to: • Functional Skills Maths Level 2 or GCSE Maths(only one of these is funded) Progress to Functional Skills Maths Level 2
This is the next level and is often equivalent to a GCSE Grade 4 (C).
Level 2 is widely accepted by employers, colleges, and apprenticeship programs.
Access to Apprenticeships
Level 1 is enough for some intermediate apprenticeships (Level 2).
For advanced apprenticeships (Level 3), Level 2 is often required.
Entry to Vocational Courses
Many Level 2 vocational or technical qualifications (e.g., Health & Social Care, Construction, Business) accept Level 1 maths as a minimum entry requirement.
