This qualification is designed to support post-16 learners with the mathematical and statistical needs of their further study of other subjects, as well as for employment and everyday life. It is intended for: Learners taking Level 3 courses, for whom GCE Mathematics is not appropriate. Learners who need support with mathematics for Level 3 or HE courses: for example, in business, biology, chemistry, computing, economics, geography, ICT, psychology, sociology or health and social care. Learners who need to continue with some mathematics because they intend at some stage to enter a teacher training or health professional training course. Learners who do not intend to continue their education and will be moving on to do apprenticeships or straight into employment. The needs of learners preparing for a variety of technical and professional roles are met through learning about mathematical modelling, costing, risk and the use of spreadsheets. Financial problem solving is a part of the qualification; this is important for all learners, irrespective of their future ambitions. This qualification gives learners the mathematical skills to tackle problems in a variety of authentic situations. It enables learners to strengthen the mathematical knowledge and skills which they have learnt at GCSE so that they can apply them to the problems which they will encounter in further study, life and employment. The use of technology – in particular, spreadsheets – is an integral part of the course. Using mathematics creatively to address authentic problems, communicating, thinking clearly and evaluating quantitative statements are features of this qualification. The ability to reason confidently using quantitative information and to check the accuracy of statements made by others is important for all future study and employment as well as for effective participation in everyday life.
