The Level 3 Award in Mathematics for Numeracy Teaching (RQF) is a recognised qualification aimed at individuals preparing to teach mathematics or numeracy in the post-16 education and training sector. The course is designed to develop learners’ maths skills and build their confidence in applying mathematical concepts in a teaching context. This award will improve your ability to solve problems, interpret numerical data, assess mathematical outcomes, and use appropriate mathematical language and techniques to communicate effectively in educational settings.
This qualification is designed for individuals seeking to enhance their numeracy skills and develop the foundational knowledge required to teach mathematics effectively. This qualification is particularly suited to those preparing to enter the further education and skills sector or aiming to support learners in developing their mathematical understanding. This course will assist you in processing problems, interrogating mathematical conclusions, interpreting situations and using mathematical techniques for communication. The course is accredited by Ofqual, and is delivered 100% online.
To achieve this qualification, you must complete two units. The details of these units are as follows;
The following are the entry requirements to enrol in this qualification:
The expected completion time for this course ranges from 1 week to 16 weeks, depending on the individual pace of the learner and level of commitment.
Learners are required to demonstrate their understanding of mathematical concepts by applying them in practical environments. Evidence of this application must be documented and submitted as part of the course assessment.
Assessment for the Level 3 Award in Mathematics for Numeracy Teaching (RQF) is designed to evaluate both the theoretical understanding and practical application of mathematical concepts in teaching contexts. You are required to complete a portfolio of evidence, which includes a series of written assignments and evidence of demonstration in a practical or instructional setting such as reports, lesson plans, presentations, or other relevant documents. All units of this qualification are assessed internally by qualified assessors and externally verified by the awarding organisation.
This course is ideal for adults looking to improve their maths skills while gaining a formal qualification, as well as aspiring teachers aiming to meet the subject knowledge requirements for QTLS (Qualified Teacher Learning and Skills) status. This award also suits career changers who wish to enter the education sector and individuals seeking to build confidence and practical competence in both mathematics and teaching. The qualification supports a wide range of professional and personal development goals, making it a valuable step toward a career in numeracy education.
This qualification is particularly suited to those preparing to enter the further education and skills sector or aiming to support learners in developing their mathematical understanding. Completion of this award therefore supports both career progression and professional recognition as a qualified teacher across the UK. Successful completion of this course enables learners to enhance their career profiles. Learners wishing to progress from this qualification can undertake the following qualifications:
All prices include course fees, awarding body dues, Ofqual-approved certification and postage of certificate. The final certification you get is the same, regardless of your route. There are no strict deadlines for submitting individual coursework, allowing you room and flexibility to pace your studies; the only deadline is the overall course duration based on the option you selected above.
Yes. This course meets the requirement of holding at least a Level 3 qualification in mathematics to apply for QTLS.
The course is delivered entirely online through our Moodle Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), giving you access to interactive learning materials, resources, and tutor support at your convenience.
No prior teaching experience is required. This course is suitable for both aspiring educators and those currently working in support roles who want to transition into teaching mathematics or numeracy.
Yes. Once all assessment criteria are met and verified, you will receive an RQF-accredited certificate issued by the awarding body.
