Pass Functional Skills Maths Level 2

Pass your Functional Skills Maths Level 2 course with the following three steps:

Step 1 - Initial Assessment

We’ll assess your maths level with a short online maths test. One of our maths tutors will explain your results over the phone. We’ll create a maths course to fit your current skill level and show you how to use our online learning.

You’ll start your online learning with the support of our friendly, helpful maths tutors. You’ll be able access and progress with your learning 24/7 on desktop, laptop, tablet and mobile phone. Subject specific tests will help you track your progress.

When you’ve progressed well with your learning, you’ll sit an diagnostic and a mock Level 2 Maths test to see if you’re ready for the final test. If you pass the mock test we’ll book your Functional Skills Maths Level 2 test.
