About the course

This course is for Adult Learners aged 19 or over who do not have an A* - C or 9 - 4 in GCSE Mathematics. The programme is examined at two tiers, foundation and higher, and, in some cases, students may be permitted to enter for a higher tier award if it is deemed to be a suitable route.

The AQA examination board has been specifically designed to suit students who are 19+. Whilst the course can be challenging and will require perseverance and dedication, we aim to make the study of mathematics at Farnborough College of Technology as relevant and applicable to the real world as possible.

Applications for this course are open between March and September. The application process is:

1. Create and account on the website, choose the course and complete your details. Once applied you will receive an email confirming your application has been received
2. You will receive an invitation within 2 weeks of application to an assessment and be asked to book a suitable date via Eventbrite (various dates and times will be available the assessments take around 60mins per subject)
3. The outcome of the assessment will be discussed with you the day after the assessment and you will be able to see the course options available.
4. We will then send you an email inviting you to enrol online, and you will have 2 weeks to complete this to confirm you place on the course. (failure to do this within the timeframe will result in your place being released to another student)
5. Once the above is complete you will receive an email with your start date a time confirming your place on the course.

Please note that while we make reasonable adjustments to remove any barriers to education, additional fees may be payable where this is not possible. For example, to provide additional support due to a disability. Please contact us if you believe you have any additional needs so that we can discuss your options before enrolling on a course.
