Course Overview

If English is not your first language but you want to improve your Maths skills and start working towards a nationally recognised qualification, this is the course for you.

The ESOL Functional Skills Qualifications in Mathematics will help you learn important Maths skills. In this course, you will practice number skills and basic problem-solving. You will also learn to use Maths in everyday situations.

The course is for Entry 1, Entry 2, Entry 3 and Level 1 students. You will also improve your English skills by speaking to other people from countries during class.
