About Your Course 

Maybe you already have exam access sorted elsewhere. Maybe you'd simply rather build your confidence with numbers before committing to a test date. Whatever the reason, this Level 2 Maths course online lets you study at your own pace without needing to book an exam right away. It's built around the same practical, real-world content as a GCSE-equivalent qualification, tackling everyday number problems rather than exam-style theory. 

This particular course is learning only, the exam isn't included. Unlike our other Functional Skills Maths courses, this Maths Functional Skills Level 2 online course lets you build your numeracy skills first, then decide when, or whether, to add your exam later.

This Maths Level 2 online course is delivered by learndirect, one of the UK's most established distance learning providers. The course content is built around the same curriculum used across our full Functional Skills Maths courses, so you'll be just as thoroughly prepared, whenever you choose to sit your exam.

  • You're returning to learning as an adult and want a flexible, fully online option you can fit around work or family life 
  • You want a lower-cost way to start working towards your Level 2 Maths qualification, with the option to add your exam later

A massive thank you to Solomon and the management team for all your support, encouragement and understanding in helping me secure my place on the Paramedic Science course. Although I’ve struggled with Maths and had doubts about progressing, Solomon encouraged me to believe in myself and take that next step. I really appreciate the affordable payment arrangement, the zero-deposit option and the fact that my 40% deposit has been kept in place. Solomon really is King Solomon! As the Bible tells us, King Solomon was renowned for his wisdom, and you certainly stand by your name. Your patience, wisdom and understanding have made a real difference. Thank you to the entire management team as well. I wish you all continued success, happiness and blessings in life. Highly appreciated and highly recommended!
