Course Description
The Functional Skills Mathematics Level 1 qualification aims to demonstrate not only the appropriate level of mathematical skills but also the capability to effectively apply mathematical reasoning to solve problems in the workplace and other real-life scenarios.
What is included in the course?
Initial Assessment
The ideal starting point for your revision. Your initial assessment tests your current knowledge, clearly indicating the areas you need to focus on. This, followed by a diagnostic, will set up your individual skills plan, helping you target your revision on the most important topics and optimising your study time until your Functional Skills Level 1 maths exam.
Self-Driven Study
Work through the course at your own pace, utilising the online platform and your personalised skills plan to develop your skills in your own time.
Topic Explanations
Each subject covered in the course begins with a detailed text explanation. This foundational overview helps you understand the basics of the topic, setting the stage for deeper learning.
Practice Questions
Once you've gained a solid understanding of the explanations, you can test your knowledge with a variety of practice questions. Each topic includes easy, medium, and hard questions to offer diverse ways to reinforce your learning.
Video Tutorials
Following the text explanations, you'll have access to in-depth video tutorials. These tutorials explain step-by-step how to solve the problems, and provide a comprehensive understanding.

After practising with topic-specific questions, you can tackle exam-style questions. These are similar to those on the Functional Skills Level 1 online maths exam, giving you a realistic preview of what to expect and further solidifying your preparedness.
