Overview

This course is designed to assess your current working level and then to progress you from that level forward. You can work through a range of smaller stepping stone units to help grow your confidence in areas such as number, measure, shape, space and data. This will then give you the opportunity to work up the levels from Entry 1 to Level 2. You will be required to come in for an initial assessment before you can enrol on this course.

Please contact our Admissions Team on 023 9387 9999 to arrange your initial assessment before applying.
