Returning to maths learning after a break can seem daunting, but Multiply Full Qualifications courses offer a friendly and straightforward approach to getting qualified. 

For paramedic Alan Churms, getting a functional skills level 2 qualification in maths was essential to progress in his career. Alan is a father of two who works night shifts while also studying for a Masters in Paramedic Science. He needed a course that fit into his busy and erratic schedule. 

Free Multiply in Essex courses for residents over 19-years-old are helping adults unlock their potential in various aspects of their personal and professional lives.

Multiply offered Alan a flexible and straightforward learning platform that not only helped his maths learning but also provided practical support every step of the way. 

“The courses and lessons were extremely flexible and fitted with my shift patterns,” Alan said. “The instructor was very accommodating and allowed to me to move faster in areas that I was confident in and supportive in areas that I was not.”

Delivered through a network of providers and managed by Essex County Council, Multiply helps adult learners like Alan revisit maths and advance their ability at their own pace. 

Multiply in Essex believes that maths is more than numbers and equations, that it is a key to unlocking potential in various aspects of everyday life. A free Multiply in Essex course can help adults advance their career, better manage money, help their child with homework or just feel more confident working with numbers.

Alan attended a free Multiply course provided by Clarion Futures at their Basildon learning centre. Other than the Functional Skills course, Clarion Futures offers other Multiply courses like Maths for Work, Maths Pays and Eating Healthy on a Budget.

Not only did the courses help Alan achieve his qualification and take the next step towards advancing his career, but it has also helped him feel confident working with numbers. He said, “After completion of the course I feel like my knowledge has significantly improved and that I’m able to assist my child with parts of her mathematics and help her moving forward.”

“The courses that I have enrolled on will build a solid foundation for me to move up the ladder and continue my journey forward to eventually achieving a Masters in Paramedic Science. I would thoroughly recommend this course.”
