About This Qualification
Functional Skills Maths Level 2 is designed for learners seeking advanced practical mathematics for employment, apprenticeships, professional training or entry routes that accept Functional Skills Level 2. It develops mathematical skills across number, measures, shape, space and handling information and data.
The official award is the Highfield Functional Skills Qualification in Mathematics at Level 2 (603/4992/X). It is a regulated Functional Skills qualification intended to help learners apply essential skills in purposeful, real-life contexts rather than study the subject only as abstract theory.
HHF Training's online Functional Skills Maths Level 2 course combines guided content with practice, feedback and assessment preparation. Examples are drawn from personal finance, workplace productivity, scale plans, travel rates, health information, probability and public statistics, enabling you to understand why each skill matters and how to use it outside an examination.

How Functional Skills Maths Level 2 Is Assessed
To achieve Functional Skills Maths Level 2, you must complete all required Highfield assessment components and meet the relevant standard in each component. Practice activities and mock assessments help you prepare, but they do not replace the formal assessments.
👉 Non-Calculator Component
A Highfield-set written assessment completed without a calculator.
👉 Calculator Component
A Highfield-set written assessment in which an approved calculator may be used. Both components must be completed to achieve the qualification.
The course fee includes the first scheduled attempt at the required Highfield assessments. A resit, missed appointment, late change, additional component or special arrangement may involve an additional fee under HHF Training's published terms. Your assessment is not booked until HHF Training confirms the date and arrangements.
