Multiply – numeracy support

Multiply

Are you aged 19 and above and don’t already have a GCSE grade C/4 or higher in Maths or equivalent? Do you want to improve your numeracy skills?

Our free, flexible Multiply courses are aimed at helping people improve their ability to understand and use maths in daily life, home, and work.

Whether for improving household finances, helping children with homework, or improving numeracy skills specific to a line of work, those who boost their skills are more likely to be in employment, have higher wages, and benefit from better wellbeing.

• Upskill numeracy to access a certain job/career
• Functional Skills Qualification
• Numeracy aimed at parents
• Numeracy aimed at care leavers

Multiply courses currently on offer can be found on the Adult Education and Community Learning website.
