Maths
Join a Functional Skills - Level 3 course in Maths.
Maths is an important part of everyday life. It’s connected to how we purchase goods and services, and manage our household spending, to how we measure ingredients, distances, build furniture, and even tell the time.
Studying maths can help how we think and give us the necessary skills to get through life.
Why learn maths with us:
Improve your problem-solving skills: Maths helps us think analytically and think about problems logically. Taking the skills that you learn in maths such as identifying the knowns and unknowns and then solving issues can be applied to all areas of life.
Improve your finance literacy: Having good number sense = good money sense. Having a good understanding of maths will help you understand budgeting, saving, and purchasing and will help to make a huge difference in your life.
Gain a qualification: On each of our maths courses, if you pass, you’ll gain a nationally recognised qualification that’s accepted by further and higher education institutions as well as employers in the UK.
Maths was always something I avoided but I now no longer feel this way. Thank you Ann Marie.
