Is this course for me

The course is for students who already have some basic English /maths skills and who may have completed a pre-entry course in English.
It is not for complete beginners but might be appropriate for learners with very low level skills. This course is also suitable for students who have completed their L1 Functional Skills maths qualification.

Course aims

By the end of the course you should be able to:

* Use common measures, shape and space
* Handle information and data
* Practise solving mathematical problems and decision making
* Use numbers and the number system – whole numbers, fractions and decimals

Please bring a pen, notebook and an A4 folder to each lesson.
If you are studying online, you will need secure internet connection, a laptop, tablet or PC. We do not recommend using a phone to attend online due to limited functionality.

You can progress to the next level in maths/English and prepare for a Functional Skills qualification or GCSE with Kent Adult Education. There is a wide range of other courses available with Kent Adult Education or other providers to support further study or employment.
Talk to your tutor about next steps. The National Careers Service may attend your course to advise about further study or employment opportunities.

Please note that your course may relocate to a different venue part way through its duration, and we will keep you informed of any changes in advance.
