What is this course about?
This ASCENTIS/ Functional Skills Level 1 course is delivered online.
Level 1 is the first step to gaining qualifications which will enable you progress on to higher education or further your job prospects.
The course is split into 3 parts:
- Part 1 – will prepare you to study an ASCENTIS/Functional Skills qualification course. In this time your teacher will also assess you, to see if you are ready for a qualification course. At the end of part 1 you will either progress on to part 2 or you will stay on part 1 for a little longer.
- Part 2- ASCENTIS – will look at an area of maths and study this in greater detail.
- Part 3 – Will give you the skills to use maths effectively in three areas, number, handling data and measure, shape and space (MSS).
You will be taught by a qualified teacher guiding you through the course. Your course will be taught once a week over 2.5 hrs. Your course will be taught on Monday evenings 18:00 – 20:30.
Who is this course for?
For people who want to gain a recognised qualification in Maths to allow them to progress to further study or education.
Entry Requirements to do this course:
You will be asked to undertake a BKSB test online to determine your level. Please also tell us on enquiry whether you have already gained a qualification in Maths. We regret we are unable to take anyone who has gained a GCSE C grade (level 4 or above) or a Functional Skills Level 2 in maths.
How you will be assessed?
The three parts of the course should give you the skills to use maths effectively in all three elements, number, handling data and measure, shape and space (MSS).
The course is taught online and face-to-face. You will need to come into a testing centre, in an area as close as possible to where you live in Hertfordshire, to complete your exams.
The ASCENTIS exam should last between 1 hr to 1hr 20.
The Functional Skills exam is split into two papers – a non-calculator and a calculator paper.
How much studying will I need to do outside of the lesson?
This is a recognised qualification course and as such you will be asked to work at least 1 ½- 2 hours outside of the lesson each week. You will also be offered separate revision sessions outside of your course which we encourage you to take up.
- This course does require commitment and may not be for you if you are not able to commit up to 7/8 hours a week.
After this course you might like to… progress on to the level 2 Functional Skills qualification. Or progress onto further/higher education or employment.
