About your Exam

This online Functional Skills maths exam allows you to gain your qualification from home, without the need, inconvenience and cost of travelling to an exam centre.

This allows you to take your exam at a time and date that works for you. If you’re juggling a full-time job and/or a family this can make the difference between having the opportunity to gain your qualification and not.

This option is also beneficial for anyone with physical disabilities that can make travelling a challenge. Or anyone with mental health issues where going into an exam environment could be overwhelming.

Or, quite simply, if you’d rather take the exam in the privacy of your own home, without other learners all around you.

Achieving the qualification in Functional Skills Mathematics proves that you can use everyday maths to solve problems in life and at work. Most colleges and universities accept Functional Skills Qualifications as a recognised GCSE equivalent.

How it Works

Our online Functional Skills maths exam allows you to sit the exam using your computer rather than a paper test you complete by hand.

The exam is still invigilated using our remote classroom technology, so you’ll need a functioning webcam and microphone. But we will provide you with our guide to remote exams when you book, so you can fully understand the process.

We will also give you some time before the exam to make sure you know how to use the software, so that once the exam starts, you'll feel relaxed and able to concentrate putting your newly developed skills to work.

Our Functional Skills exams are available at Level 1 and Level 2 and are delivered by our partner Future Skills, a division of learndirect. They are accredited by NCFE, an Awarding Organisation approved by Ofqual to provide Functional Skills qualifications. Ofqual is the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation – the regulatory body who regulate qualifications, examinations and assessments in England.
