The VTCT Level 2 Functional Skills Qualification in Mathematics helps learners develop the practical maths skills needed for work, study and everyday life.
Learners will build confidence in using numbers, solving problems, interpreting information and applying mathematical skills to real-world situations. The course supports learners in developing accuracy, logical thinking and the ability to choose appropriate methods when working through mathematical tasks.
Learners will also develop their understanding of number, fractions, decimals, percentages, ratio, measures, shape, space, data handling, probability and problem-solving.
All courses require employment for a minimum duration of 16 hours per week.
There are no formal prerequisite qualifications required to undertake this qualification.
Learners should complete an initial assessment to confirm that Level 2 is the most appropriate level for them. The course is suitable for learners who need to achieve a recognised maths qualification for an apprenticeship, employment, further study or personal development.
This is a flexible qualification delivered over a timetable suited to the learner’s starting point, confidence and assessment readiness.
On completion, learners can use this qualification to support progression into further study, employment or apprenticeship completion.
The qualification can also support progression into higher-level vocational training, teaching or assessor qualifications, and other courses where a recognised Level 2 maths qualification is required.
Learners are assessed through a formal mathematics assessment, completed either on-screen or on paper depending on centre arrangements.
The assessment includes both non-calculator and calculator tasks. Learners must demonstrate their ability to use underpinning maths skills and apply mathematical thinking to solve practical problems.
Learners must successfully achieve the required assessment standard to be awarded the full qualification.
At Westrow Academy, our courses are designed to give learners the skills, confidence and professional support they need to progress in the hairdressing industry.
