What the college says

Core Mathematics starts at a lower level than A-level Mathematics and continues at a slower pace, allowing students, who would otherwise not be able to keep up with the demands of A-level Mathematics, to still enjoy a valued and worthwhile qualification. This one-year course follows the GCSE approach with lots of number, algebra, shape, space and data handling.

What you need to get on

Students need a grade 6 or 5 from the GCSE Higher Level Mathematics examination to study this course.

How you are assessed

Learning a trade with tools and equipment, often in a college workshop or salon.

What this level means

The A-level-equivalent step, and what universities and employers ask for.

Is it open to 16 to 18 year olds?

Approved for 16 to 18 study on the government's Section 96 list.
