About Your Course

Mathematics is a core subject that not only helps learners academically, but also improves general problem-solving skills. While many of us think of Maths solely as a school subject, it is a process that we use in our everyday lives, and you can gain the knowledge you need by studying online.

If you did not achieve GCSE Maths at school, you have an opportunity to gain this nationally recognised qualification later in life. Whether you want to kickstart a new career or develop your mathematical skills, this online course will deliver on all fronts.

The GCSE Mathematics course covers a wealth of essential processes, including algebra, ratio, geometry, probability, and statistics. By learning these topics, you will become confident in using Maths skills in everyday life. Plus, this knowledge will propel you towards further study, should you choose to take this route.

During your online study, you will develop a solid understanding of mathematical concepts and methods, as well as the ability to apply techniques to solve problems. Upon completion of this course, you will be confident in communicating mathematical information in different forms.
