You can register for our testing pack or look to book a tutor through our recommended partner service, The Exam Tutor.

Additionally, we also prepare people for QTLS applications with our dedicated functional skills level 2 maths support. The functional skills maths support we offer is for those going into teaching but also more generally for those who want to gain a level 2 qualification for any other reason. A grade 4 or C in level 2 maths is needed for progression in every professional and educational pathway. There are a number of GCSE equivalent qualifications that are more popular than the GCSE due to their accessibility with exams running all year round, in addition to the fact that they often have significantly less content to learn. Functional skills maths level 2 is the most popular equivalent we help people with, followed closely by the GCSE maths equivalency test. Outside of teaching the functional skills qualification is accepted everywhere, for teaching it is accepted in QTLS and apprenticeship routes only. All other aspiring teachers will need to take the maths equivalency test.
