Course content

Perfect for anyone wanting to feel more confident with maths in daily life!

How you will learn?

Face-to-face learning in a classroom or outdoor setting using a mix of styles, including hands-on activities, demonstrations, short teaching videos, group discussions, quizzes, and completing handouts. You will take part in fun, practical tasks and build a personal learning folder to track your progress and achievements throughout the course.

Learner support

Learning support is available throughout the course to meet your individual needs. This can include assistance with reading, access to an iPad, or a supportive person to help build your confidence and guide you in the right direction. We are committed to helping you succeed every step of the way.

Course assessments

You will be assessed through ongoing informal methods such as quizzes, group discussions, and practical activities. You will also complete a personal learning folder to reflect on your progress and achievements. Assessment focuses on building confidence and understanding rather than formal exams. Support will be provided throughout to help you meet your individual goals.

Learning materials

No need to bring a notebook, calculator, or apron – everything is provided, including all cooking and learning materials. Just wear comfortable clothes and shoes suitable for a farm setting and bring reading glasses if required.
