Achieve GCSE-Equivalent Qualifications from Home. Fast, Flexible and Recognised

Home-schooled exam special offer.

If you're looking for a straightforward way to gain a nationally recognised maths or English qualification from home, you're in the right place.

At Maths in a Month, we understand that not everyone can attend in-person classes or wait months for exam windows to open. That’s why we offer a fast, flexible, and fully online Functional Skills exam service designed for real life.

Whether you’re returning to work, applying for university, or supporting a homeschooled learner, our GCSE-equivalent exams in maths and English are designed to meet you where you are.

What Are Functional Skills?

Functional Skills Level 2 qualifications are Ofqual-regulated and accepted across the UK as the equivalent of a GCSE pass (grade 4/C or above). These qualifications are widely recognised by employers, apprenticeship providers, and further education institutions.

Best of all, they’re practical. Instead of rote memorisation, Functional Skills focus on real-world problem-solving, clear communication, and everyday numeracy and literacy skills, "Skills that Count!"

• Learn at your own pace – no rigid course schedules

• Sit your exam from home – live remote invigilation means no travel, less stress
