Maths skills with Multiply

Multiply offers easy access to free maths courses and activities that can help you brush up on your maths skills and help you become more confident with numbers. So whether you need help managing your bills or want to improve your potential at work, getting better at using maths can help.

Multiply - courses to help adults make things add up!

We're providing Multiply across Derbyshire. So if you're 19 or over and don't have maths GCSE at grade C (or equivalent), we can help.

Good maths skills can give you more job opportunities, lead to higher wages or further study. They also help in everyday life, such as assisting children with homework and budgeting money.

We have courses for beginners to more advanced such as GCSE maths. Online courses are also available, so you can learn at a pace that suits you.

How Multiply can help you

Does needing to do maths at work or home worry you? You aren't alone.

57% of England's adults have low numeracy skills.

We use maths skills every day. If we improve them, we can budget better, make sense of bills, and avoid food waste.

Visit the Citizens Advice website to help you budget

or the government website for Budgeting help with benefits.

We'll be sharing more information in our future newsletters and on our Facebook page.
