Certificate In Essential Skills - Numeracy
This course will help you to understand, use and calculate figures in the areas of mathematics which you are likely to come across in daily life.
Available Sessions
We have 8 sessions available for application on this course in Bangor, Downpatrick, Lisburn, Newtownards.
This course is fully subscribed for Semester 1 so will no longer accept applications for it.
It is also heavily already in demand for Semester 2 so the process outlined below including waiting lists will apply.
Please note that the duration of an Essential Skills course is one Semester, for example, Semester 1 starting in September and finishing in the New Year and Semester 2 starting in New Year and finishing in June.
The topics taught will be tailored to your individual needs and will be taught at a level appropriate to you.
Classes are practical and are taught in small groups, so they are ideal for adult learners or anyone returning to education.
Please note that it may be necessary to deliver some classes online instead of on campus, e.g. in response to illness, Covid-19, college closure, etc.
How to apply:
- Please apply online and you will be emailed information closer to the course start date as to what to do next.
- Due to the popularity of this course, applicants will be invited in by date of application.
- Those invited are required to complete assessments in the first class to identify what their level is and if there is a place in a suitable class.
- Once assessments have been marked, tutors will then be able to confirm via email or phone call what the assessment result is and if the applicant is eligible to enrol for the course.
- Should places become available, e.g. due to the course being unsuitable for earlier applicants, the next applicants may be invited in so they can be assessed.
- On completion of the assessment and enrolment process, we will contact any remaining applicants who are still to be contacted with advice on alternative courses.
Please also note that if you do not arrive to your invited slot, you risk not securing a place. This assessment process will determine your Essential Skills level and the allocation to a suitable class.
Any further queries please contact admissions@serc.ac.uk.
Course Modules:

You will need to sit an assessment test in order to determine what level you will be working towards and placed in a suitable group where possible.
