Adult Courses Guide 2024/25
ENGLISH & MATHS
Many adults missed out on gaining a grade C (4) in GCSE English or maths at school, often feeling like they’re just not good at maths or they’ll never be able to understand GCSE English. Our English and maths teams are determined to change that for you! We’ve invested loads of time in understanding how to help our students make friends with these vital subjects, and our goal is that we’ll be able to turn your bad experiences around and leave you enjoying our favourite subjects. Research shows that a GCSE English and maths qualification can increase your job opportunities, your salary, your long-term career prospects, and your ability to do well in other courses or training opportunities because it teaches you valuable skills like problem solving, analytical skills and critical thinking, so it’s really important to us that we help open those doors for you.
“I studied functional skills English and GCSE maths at the College. I did find it a bit daunting at first. I was worried about being so much older than your average student, but it’s a really welcoming environment and you don’t feel out of place. They do a lot to build your confidence so if you are worried about returning to education, don’t be, as they will help you at every step. I have had a really positive experience at City College Plymouth.” Wayne , English & Maths Student
