What topics are covered by the course?

What you will study For the Entry Level qualifications, depending the level, you will study numbers, fractions, money, decimals, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, time, measure and shape, and data handling. At Levels 1 and 2 you will study all aspects of numeracy and the tests will cover problem solving, interpreting information, calculating, measuring, and presenting information. How you will learn You can enquire at any time at our main College site or at the Castleford Campus and you will be invited to meet a tutor who will give you a start date. You will then join one of our lively and informal classes, working both as part of a group and as an individual to develop your skills. Attendance You will normally be expected to attend for one three-hour session per week, either during the day or in the evening. Different qualifications take different numbers of hours to complete. We will discuss this with you.
