When I left school without a maths qualification, I thought it was too late. Then I discovered the Functional Skills Maths Level 2 Exam at Exam Centre,  a qualification recognised by employers, universities, and apprenticeships across the UK. In just 3 weeks, I went from struggling to confident, and I passed.

Why I Chose Functional Skills Maths Level 2

The Functional Skills Maths Level 2 qualification is accredited by City & Guilds and Ofqual-approved, meaning it’s officially accepted as an equivalent to GCSE maths. Employers, apprenticeship providers, and universities all recognise it.

A Practical Alternative to GCSEs

Instead of waiting months for a GCSE resit, you can take an online Functional Skills Maths Level 2 Exam or an in-centre Functional Skills Maths Level 2 Exam and get results in just 20 working days.

My 3-Week Study Plan

I enrolled in the Private Functional Skills in Maths Course at Exam Centre and paired it with their online Functional Skills maths resources.

Week 1  Understanding the Exam Format

I started with past papers from the Functional Skills Maths Level 2 Exam page, learning about the non-calculator and calculator sections.

Week 2  Focusing on Weak Areas

I used the Functional Skills in maths course to strengthen topics like percentages, ratios, and data handling.

Week 3 Timed Practice and Confidence Building

I booked my slot for the in-centre Functional Skills exam in London and practised under timed conditions until I felt confident.

The Booking Process

Booking with Exam Centre was simple. I went to the Functional Skills Maths Level 2 Exam page, chose my date, and paid online. They also offered a 50% discount on the self-learning maths course when booked with the exam.

The Exam Day Experience

In-Centre Exam

I sat my  in-centre Functional Skills maths test at their London location. It was quiet, professional, and stress-free.

Online Exam Option

If you prefer, you can take the online Functional Skills Maths Level 2 Exam from home, with a live remote invigilator.

Why It Was Worth It

Passing my Level 2 Functional Skills Maths qualification has opened doors. I can now apply for jobs and courses that previously required GCSE maths.

From nursing to teaching, employers value Functional Skills qualifications because they test practical skills.
