The majority of employers look for at least GCSE grade 4/C in maths so achieving this qualification could be the difference between you getting the job or promotion you want or not. People with good GCSE grades in maths also earn approximately £2,000 more than those who don’t. Maths is one of the best subjects to develop your analytical, research and problem-solving skills. Not only will studying maths help give you the knowledge to tackle scientific, mechanical, coding and abstract problems, it will also help you develop logic to tackle everyday issues like planning projects, managing budgets and even debating effectively.
This is a foundation level qualification from which you can gain a grade 4/5, which many employers and higher education courses are increasingly requesting. The classes run during the evening and are aimed at people who are working during the day.
You will need GCSE grade D/3 in maths or Functional Skill Level 2. The course is designed as a revision course for those candidates who are one grade off a grade 4, consequently the course moves at a swift pace and is not recommended for those who have not sat a GCSE examination within the last two years.
GCSE Mathematics is necessary for all students wanting to enter higher education or to study a science subject. It is also a qualification asked for by employers.
