Maths
Maths is an inspiring and enjoyable subject that will equip you with the problem-solving and decision-making skills that are valued across employment sectors.
Qualifications in English and maths are vital for your future employment success. Achieving five 4 to 9 GCSE grades (including English and maths), adds £80,000 to your future earnings over a lifetime, according to a study conducted by the Department for Education.
If you are aged 19 and over and want to improve your numeracy skills, we offer free online and in-person courses in maths. You can try our one-day Everyday Maths Skills course running for 10 weeks for a refresher in all things numerical to help you in your day-to-day activities. Alternatively, if you want to achieve a formal qualification, or boost a lower existing grade, you can study our GCSE Maths online course.
If you have just finished school and have not obtained a pass in GCSE Maths, you will be able to study this alongside your chosen land-based course. You will benefit from small class sizes and complementary, hands-on learning linked to your course.
Our maths courses are delivered as part of the London Multiply programme.
