Program Overview

Functional Skills maths is a qualification built around using maths in real situations: a pay rise worked out as a percentage, a room measured for flooring, a timetable read correctly, a chart that might be misleading. The Department for Education sets the content at Entry Levels 1 to 3 and Levels 1 and 2, and every level is organised into the same three areas: using numbers and the number system, using common measures, shape and space, and handling information and data. Level 2 is the level many employers, apprenticeships and college courses ask for.

Ofqual's rules shape how it is examined. A quarter of the marks are for questions done without a calculator and three quarters with one. A quarter assess underpinning skills, maths on its own, and three quarters assess problem solving in context. Several awarding organisations offer the qualification, each setting its own papers within those rules, so we teach the shared content and practise in the style your exam centre uses.

The course runs in four phases: number, then measures, shape and space, then data, then exam practice with both the non-calculator and calculator sections. Lessons are live and small, aimed at people who may not have done maths for years, and they run at times that fit around work and family.

What Makes This Program Different

  • ✓ Built from the Department for Education's Functional Skills maths subject content and Ofqual's conditions and requirements
  • ✓ The non-calculator quarter of the exam practised from week one, so mental methods and written methods are secure
  • ✓ Problems set in real contexts adults recognise: pay, bills, recipes, travel, home improvement and workplace data
  • ✓ Level 1 and Level 2 taught as clear tracks, with a starting check that places you correctly
  • ✓ Practice in the style of your exam centre's awarding organisation in the final phase
  • ✓ Patient, judgement-free teaching for adults returning to maths after a long break

Adults, apprentices and post-16 learners working towards Functional Skills maths at Level 1 or Level 2. It suits adults who need a maths qualification for a job, promotion or course and have not studied maths for years; apprentices who need functional skills maths as part of their programme; post-16 learners working towards a level 2 maths qualification.
What will they learn and build?
Functional Skills maths is a qualification built around using maths in real situations: a pay rise worked out as a percentage, a room measured for flooring, a timetable read correctly, a chart that might be misleading.
How deeply are topics covered?
The course runs 6 months (24 weeks) for a full level; shorter for learners who start part-way at 2 live classes/week + 2-3 hours of practice, fitted around work, across 4 phases listed week by week in the syllabus below. A structured plan built from the official subject content, taught step by step.
Who teaches it?
Modern Age Coders mentors, who teach the live classes themselves. You can watch them at work in the free class recordings before you decide.
How do practice, feedback and assessment work?
Monthly checks and full practice assessments with non-calculator and calculator sections. Doubt support between classes over WhatsApp. A course-completion certificate and a revision kit you keep.
What does it cost?
Three monthly plans: a group batch, a mini batch and 1-on-1. Prices are shown in your currency in the plans section. Monthly billing, cancel any time.
When can classes take place?
Live classes are scheduled around your week. Group batches meet at a fixed weekly slot; 1-on-1 students choose their own. International students are scheduled in their own timezone. Ask on WhatsApp for the current slots.
Can I watch the teaching before deciding?
Yes. Full recordings of real 13 and up classes are free to watch, free with a Google sign-in. These recordings show how we teach, not the exact syllabus of this course. Some classes are in English and some in Hindi; everyone follows at their own pace. Watch a class end to end, like you are in it. Sessions are interactive and each moment builds on the last.
