Before enrolling on a Functional Skills maths or English course, we recommend completing our bespoke, market-leading initial assessment. This identifies the level you are currently working at and recommends the most suitable course for you to enrol on. However, if you already know you need to pass a Level 2 exam, you can skip the assessment and enrol directly on the Level 2 course.

Our functional skills maths level 2 course includes everything you need to pass your qualification. The maths curriculum consists of 3 units: using numbers; common measures, shapes, and space; and handling information and data. The online course breaks down each unit into subtopics, and automatically tracks your progress so you know how much you have yet to complete. The functional skills maths level 1 course similarly prepares you for your level 1 qualification. The units are the same as for level 2, but the subtopics differ. The course guides you through the curriculum so that the information is in consumable chunks.
A functional skills maths course makes a huge difference to your revision. As well as practice questions throughout, there are exam-style topic tests at the end of each section to simulate the real thing. Your attempts are marked immediately and if you aren’t sure where you went wrong, there are written and video solutions for every question. At Pass Functional Skills, we know there is more to your qualification than just the content. The majority of our learners are completing their qualifications outside of education and juggling study with other responsibilities. Our online course takes this into account, with the system tracking how many hours of revision are left until you are ExamReady, based on your automatically calculated current level.
Make your revision work for you with a functional skills maths course!

This online functional skills English course has a multitude of features to make your revision work for you. It’s online, accessible 24/7, and tracks your progress to make it as easy as possible to fit around your schedule. The initial assessment gives you your starting level, and then the system calculates your chance of passing the exam if you took it then and there. It also works out how many hours of revision are left until you are ExamReady. The content is delivered in manageable chunks, with video lessons and interactive practice questions. Answers are marked immediately making use of our built-in AI system, and there are both written and video solutions for every single questions, so you can always find out where you went wrong.
