Unlike GCSEs, Functional Skills qualifications are flexible and designed to meet the needs of diverse learners, making them more adaptable to different learning styles. What will I get after finishing the course? After successfully completing the Entry Level 3 Maths course, you will receive a Pearson Edexcel or NCFE Functional Skills Qualification in Maths at Entry Level 3 (depending on what you choose as an accreditation) that is highly regarded by universities and employers across the UK.
