Course Information

Course Overview

Born out of the demand from the CBI, Maths functional skills help learners to use what they have learnt in a practical way to be mathematically functional.

Maths Functional Skills are about developing a skill base which is then transferable to other areas of learning, life and work. This would include things like problem solving, communication, team working and presentation.

We can offer you a nationally recognised certificate at a course level that is right for you, instilling the skills that will enable you to gain the confidence and ability to use maths both at work and at home.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

All of Runway Training’s Functional Skills qualifications work in the same way. We work through the following steps:

  • Initial Assessment
    This is to find the level at which you are working.
  • Diagnostic Assessment
    This looks at different elements of the course and identifies which areas you are competent in and which areas require more work.
  • Customised Individual Skills Plan (ISP)
    Your ISP gives you information, practice quizzes and assessments, video clips and other resources to help your learning.
  • Final Preparation Stage
    This is a stage of the course tailored to the learners individual needs to help prepare for their final exam.

Each learner is assigned a tutor to provide support throughout the learning process and administer any necessary additional learning provisions to help the learner to achieve the chosen qualification.

WHAT WILL I STUDY?

  • Working with Numbers (adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing)
  • Fractions, Decimals, Percentages and Ratios
  • Common Measures (Money, Time, Length, Weight, Capacity)
  • Shape and Space, Reading Charts, Tables and Graphs.

This is all based around three main stands:

  • Representing – identifying problems and choosing the maths needed to solve them.
  • Analysing – applying the maths and checking the answers.
  • Interpretation – draw conclusions and communicate the results.

    Thanks for your help!

    Good day! My point of view is that specialists teach other people new laws and rules in the UK. I was very interested to learn about the laws of the UK on consumer rights, especially about the Equality Act 2010. Everything is explained interestingly. Thank you for your help!
