Multiply, with Truro and Penwith College, can improve your employment chances, build maths confidence and give you the skills to help your children with their maths homework. If you’re aged 19+ Multiply can help you.
Through Multiply, we want to boost people’s confidence and ability to use maths and numbers effectively in daily life, at home and work. This includes helping people attain a formal qualification to open doors to new jobs, career progression and/or further study. All adults who need to improve their numeracy (up to and including level 2 or equivalent) will be able to access free flexible courses and initiatives that fit around their lives.
In support of this project Truro and Penwith College will deliver a programme of free online, workplace and College based activities that will improve participation and confidence among adults in numeracy activities plus provide the necessary foundations for Multiply participants to then progress onto further training, accredited qualifications, access career progression pathways or feel more assured in their ability to support their family with maths.
All of our courses offer both learning and personal support from specialist staff that is tailored to meet your specific needs. You can study at your own pace, at a time that suits you, with the freedom to revisit areas of the course as little or as much as you like without having to keep the same pace as others.
All courses delivered through Multiply are fully funded by the UK Government under the Skills for Life Campaign. The campaign aims to raise awareness and understanding of skills offers among adults, whether they are looking to change career, want to find a more rewarding job or are just starting out.
