Pearson Edexcel certificate in Functional Skills: Maths Level 1

Through our partnership with Pearson Edexcel we can bring you the reformed functional skills in Mathematics at Level 1, with the emphasis pivoting to the core understanding of the concept and the process used to reach the solution.

Underpinning skills form 25% of the marks awarded and phrases the learning within a context to assess the learners’ knowledge and understanding rather than their ability to apply this knowledge and understanding.

The problem-solving skills focuses on the structure and plan utilised to reach the solution (in line with the old adage of… Always show your workings!) rather than the maths itself.

The assessment of the reforms is also changing, to incorporate the calculator and non-calculator assessments. These will be sat as one assessment, with the assessment lengths being:

Calculator
90 minutes

Non Calculator
25 minutes

Total
115 minutes

Through the process of learning, you will come to see how the language of numbers is all around us and nothing to fear. You’ll understand how to manage complex problems and draw the right answers that will benefit your personal and professional life. Talking about your professional life, by achieving at PASS, it will give you the foundation qualification that will open future opportunities to undertake higher level apprenticeships and other professional qualifications.

When successful the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulations (Ofqual) and Pearson Edexcel will recognise your achievement and provide an official certificate conforming you have met the requirements for a PASS.
