Qualifications

TQUK

For our Functional Skills qualifications and certification, we work with TQUK.

Established in 2013, Training Qualifications UK are one of the most forward-thinking and agile Awarding Organisations in the UK. They work closely with both employers and providers to ensure learners receive qualifications that have impact in the workplace and help learners succeed in all walks of life.

As a nationally recognised alternative to GCSE Maths, a Functional Skills Maths Level 2 qualification can open doors in both work and further study. Devised by the UK Government to improve numeracy skills across the UK, it's a direct equivalent to GCSE grade C/4 and can help you meet job and university entry requirements that call for a pass in Maths. 

Recognised as a core subject, Maths is regarded as essential for understanding all other academic forms of study, as well as for navigating day-to-day life. This qualification helps you develop the skills and confidence to overcome everyday challenges, applying mathematical concepts with structure, patterns and logic to make complex processes more manageable. 

Employers across many sectors value evidence of these capabilities, and your qualification provides exactly that. This Level 2 Maths exam, once passed, is also widely used to meet university entry requirements, although not every university accepts it, so it's worth checking with your chosen institution before enrolling.
