National 5 Mathematics
Overview
This qualification consists of three units and a final exam.
Candidates will have the option to study all three unit and sit final exam or a selection of units to meet their needs.
The exam in May covers everything you've done in the course, so it shows that you've understood what you've learned while working towards your qualification and can put it in context. The exam also helps to decide what grade you get for the course.
Please note that this course will run for 1 evening per week until the 7th November then it will run for two evenings per week from 14th November, (Tuesday's and Thursday's). Tuesday will be on Campus and Thursday will be delivered remotely.
This course will be fully funded for individuals who are aged 19 and over and live, learn or work (including volunteer) in the North Lanarkshire region. Multiply is a new government funded programme to help adults improve their numeracy skills.
Good numeracy skills can unlock job opportunities and lead to higher wages or prepare you for further study. They also help in everyday life, such as helping children with homework and budgeting money.
