What is Multiply
Multiply is a new government-funded programme to help adults improve their numeracy skills.
If you’re aged 19 and over and don’t have maths GCSE at grade C (or equivalent), you can access free numeracy courses through Multiply to build your confidence with numbers and gain a qualification.
Good numeracy skills may unlock job opportunities and lead to higher wages or prepare you for further study. They also help in everyday life, such as helping children with homework and budgeting money. There are courses for beginners to more advanced courses such as GCSE Maths, Functional Skills Qualifications, or equivalent, so you will be able to learn at a pace that suits you.
Whether you need help:
- managing your bills
- budgeting
- boosting your skills to improve your potential at work
- confidence in helping your children with their homework
Multiply is aimed at giving your numeracy skills the boost you need.
Multiply courses are free if you’re aged 19+ and do not already have a GCSE at grade C (or equivalent) in maths.
