This course is offered at all levels (entry 1, entry level 2, entry level 3, level 1 and level 2). Once enrolled, students are assessed for their starting ability and placed on a level accordingly. These courses are half an academic year so you can progress through two levels a year, or if you only need one, you can be finished by February.

** Please be aware if you choose a course that is being delivered virtually. There will be an expectation for students to attend face-to-face examinations at College but classes and support will be delivered remotely. **

For more information about specific course dates and times, please contact Claire Vinton 0161 631 5837.

Outline

You will study numeracy skills such as conversion of measures, statistics, fractions and percentages and area and volume. These will be presented in real world contexts.

Progression

You can progress to the next functional skills level up to level 2. Once level 2 has been achieved you can study GCSE English or progress to HE courses where level 2 literacy is required (rather than specifiying GCSE).

Assessment

A single paper divided into calculator and non-calculator sections. This does not take place at set times but is carried out within a time frame when your teacher believes you are ready. For those starting in September the exams will be in January and early February. For courses starting in February they will take place in May and June. Students may have multiple attempts at exams.

Entry Requirements

There is no entry requirement to enrol in the class, but the level to be studied will be based on previous levels achieved and initial diagnostic assessment.
