Courses in Level 1 Functional Skills Qualification in Mathematics

Stanmore College is well known for having delivered excellent tuition and support in mathematics for some years. Our teachers have years of experience and are abreast of modern-day mathematical practices. They know exactly what to do to help a student finding the course difficult and how to make it challenging for those who excel in this area. Maths teachers held additional twilight classes in previous years to provide an opportunity for students who wanted just that bit of extra help to build their confidence in the subject.

The qualification aims to develop learner understanding and skills in the inter-related mathematical process skills of representing, analyzing, interpreting, using numbers, geometry, and statistics within functional contexts.
