Who is this course for

Fees - almost all of our maths and English classes are fully funded meaning you will not need to pay fees. When you click apply now, use the drop down box to select the 'Full remission' option and this will zero the fees. Our staff will provide more information once you've booked your assessment.


This course is for learners whose first language is not English who want to get better at maths.

What are the entry requirements

You should be working towards Entry level 2 or Entry level 3 ESOL and not already have a level 2 maths qualification.

What will I be learning

This course will help you learn the language used in maths. Maths questions often use English words, not just numbers. You will solve maths problems and learn how to understand what questions are asking you to do. 
You will improve maths skills like adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing. You will also learn about fractions, decimals, and percentages. We will practice using maths in real life, like shopping and planning a budget. This course will help you feel more confident using maths every day.

How will I be assessed and supported

At DALS, we use an Individual Learning Plan (ILP) to set and review targets and provide feedback, enabling continual reflection and evaluation throughout the course. Learners will also receive verbal and written feedback on marked work. Learners will use their ILP to help track and monitor their own progress towards set goals, to support personal development and achievement.

At enrolment, it is important that you tell us if you have a learning difficulty or disability and require support. Learners declaring a support need will be referred for an assessment. If an enhanced support need is confirmed, a Support Package will be offered, to assist your progress in your learning and development, specific to your assessed needs.

What do I need to bring?

Pen, pencil, ruler, a notebook, calculator and a folder.

Any additional costs?

There are no additional fees.
