About this course

This, gentle, introduction to retail skills will boost your confidence with numbers and calculations helping you find employment in shop-based jobs.

Our experienced, fully qualified tutors will give simple explanations and guidance to help you improve your current maths skills and remember any areas that you may have forgotten. Plus, the course will be full of like-minded learners – like you - keen to build their maths confidence and get ahead.

This 3-session course is geared to improving your retail skills giving you the boost needed to transfer to an accredited Functional Skills Maths qualification in September 2024.

If you achieve a level 2 qualification in maths this will open-up more job and training opportunities. For example, if you would like to seek employment in administration, the trades, teaching or retail, a level 2 functional skills maths qualification is a must.

By the end of the sessions, you will be able to:

order larger numbers and amounts
count money and give change
recognise percentages and sales discounts
use an online form to place a customer order
complete an online item search

This course leads to Functional Skills Maths (various levels dependant on assessment) – courses starting both face-to-face and online from September 2024

This course is for people who don’t already have a level 2 qualification in maths (GCSE C/4 or above) or are not confident in using maths at this level.
