Improve Your Number Skills (BEVMATHS)

What do I need to join the course?

Our maths courses are aimed at adults who do not have a Level 2 qualification in maths (GCSE grade C / grade 4 or above). If you’ve achieved a maths qualification in the past and feel that you have a significant gap in your maths skills and knowledge, please get in touch with us to discuss how we could help.

Whether you’re starting from the basics or are looking to gain a qualification to help you in life and work, our courses provide a supportive and flexible learning environment to help you reach your goals.

What do I need to bring with me to the first session?

You should bring with you evidence of your identity (a passport, driving licence or birth certificate) and any qualification certificates you already have.

What can I expect from 'Getting Ready For Maths'?

When you apply for one of our mathematics courses, your journey will begin with our welcoming and supportive 'Getting Ready for Maths' programme. These initial sessions are your opportunity to meet with a friendly advisor who will take the time to understand your goals and why improving your maths is important to you.

You will also work with a qualified maths tutor to complete some skills checks; these are not tests, but a helpful way to identify your current level, recognise your strengths and highlight areas where you may benefit from further support. This process ensures that you are placed on the course that best matches your needs and aspirations.

As part of your course, you will find out what it’s like to learn with us; you’ll find out what you can expect from your learning experience, how we prioritise your safety and wellbeing and about our commitment to promoting equality, diversity, and inclusion, as well as the British values that shape our learning environment.

What qualifications can I get?

You can work towards nationally recognised Functional Skills qualification in maths, which are available at various levels depending on your starting point and progress. These qualifications are widely respected by employers, training providers and educational institutions across the country. They not only boost your confidence but also enhance your CV, opening up new opportunities for work, further study and personal development.

We’ll help you to work out which level of maths is right for you and we’ll support you to achieve the level that you need to reach your goals. We offer Functional Skills Maths qualifications at Entry Level 1, 2 and 3 in our ‘Improve Your Maths’ classes and Level 1 and 2 in our ‘Maths for Life and Work’ classes, so you’ll always be in a group with others working at a similar level.
