Functional Skills: Maths and English

Build skills for life, learning, and work.

Maths and English aren't just school subjects—they're important skills you use every day. Whether you're helping your kids with homework, budgeting at home, or taking the next step in your career, these skills matter.

By improving your Maths and English, you'll be able to:

  • Move on to higher-level study
  • Unlock more job opportunities
  • Increase your future earning potential

 

We believe everyone should have the chance to learn. That’s why we’ve made our courses flexible, supportive, and—if you’re eligible—completely free.

Funding

If you haven't achieved a GCSE in Maths or English (or equivalent) previosuly, our courses are completely free. We will break down barriers to learning and support you with these essential qualifications to achieve your goals!

Blended Learning

Our courses are mainly taught in the classroom, giving you the benefit of face-to-face support. But we know life can get busy, so we also offer blended learning. That means you can complete up to 20% of your course at home through online sessions and independent study. Your tutor will work with you to find the best learning approach for your situation.

Extra Support Through Multiply

If you’re aged 19 or over and don’t have a grade C in GCSE Maths (or equivalent), you can also access help through the Multiply programme.

Multiply offers free numeracy support and training that fits around your schedule—whether you're looking to boost your skills for work, personal life, or further education - completely free.
