This NCFE-accredited Level 2 Functional Skills Maths qualification focuses on practical mathematical skills that apply directly to everyday life and creative practice. It’s perfect for learners pursuing creative careers—from art and design to music production and fashion—who need to meet entry requirements for college, university, or creative apprenticeships.
Accepted as a GCSE Maths equivalent, this qualification supports applications to creative courses while also teaching essential skills like working with proportions (great for design), managing measurements (ideal for textiles or 3D work), and understanding data (valuable in photography, performance, and media). It’s also an excellent resource for creatives running their own business or freelance practice, helping you manage budgets, quotes, and pricing with confidence. With personalised tutor support and a remote final exam, you’ll gain practical skills to thrive both in your studies and in the creative world.
