You can use your Maths and English courses to help you achieve a nationally recognised Certificate in Adult Literacy or Numeracy. They measure skills at an equivalent level to other national qualifications.
The qualifications that you can get are:
- Certificate in Adult Literacy Level 1
- Certificate in Adult Literacy Level 2
- Certificate in Adult Numeracy Level 1
- Certificate in Adult Numeracy Level 2
To get a Certificate, you need to take and pass a short test. It's multiple choice, only 40 questions long and most people take it on a computer so they can answer the questions at the touch of a button. You can take the test in the relaxed atmosphere of your local accredited learndirect centre.
If you wish to study towards this qualification, you should discuss it with your local learndirect centre before you start learning. You can then agree how and where assessment for your qualification will take place.
Please check with you local learndirect centre to discuss taking the Certificates in Adult Numeracy and Literacy, and they will advise you of the nearest location available.
