Overview

Our Mathematics Entry Level qualification is being redesigned for first teaching in September 2010. It will sit with the new GCSEs in Mathematics, enabling us to offer you a coherent package for you and your learners.

The qualification is aimed at learners who may not be ready for a GCSE, or who will benefit from reinforcing their basic mathematics skills while studying towards the GCSE.

More manageable stages

Each learner receives a Mathematics Progress Profile, to split the course up into manageable stages and motivate them to further their knowledge through a series of non-assessed awards. The Progress Profile is also an excellent aid to teachers, and is complemented by the textbook Entry Level Mathematics by Seager, Watson and West (Hodder Education) and additional support materials from us.

The course is designed to be taken over a year but is flexible enough to be taken over shorter or longer periods. The qualification provides learners with a basis for progression towards a GCSE in Mathematics, other related courses, and future employment.

Benefits

• It's designed to be accessible to a diverse range of learners, including underachievers, special needs candidates and adult returners.
• We've created a qualification that's accessible, flexible and straightforward to administer, ensuring that all our centres and learners can get the maximum benefit from the course.
• The course is 100 percent centre-marked so learners can benefit from immediate feedback from their teachers.
• The assessment, consisting of four assessed tests, can be taken at times convenient to your centre, and we provide guidance and support for teachers to help in delivering the course.
