What the college says

Mathematics skills aren’t just used in the classroom - they are vital in everyday life, whether you are running your own business or trying to pick the best mortgage. The Core Mathematics course has been developed to cover these skills. The qualification is designed to ensure that pupils retain the Mathematics they learn at school, and have the numeracy skills required by employers. The material studied is not purely theoretical; it can be applied on a day-to-day basis in work, study or life and will support study in other subjects, particularly Science, Geography, Business Studies, Social Sciences and Economics.

Core Mathematics is a Level 3 qualification for students who achieved at least a Grade 4 at GCSE Mathematics and who wish to develop their practical Mathematics skills for the real world, be it in work, study or everyday life. It has AS level equivalence and carries UCAS points.

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.
