In order to gain the Essential Application of Number Skills at Level 1 to Level 3, learners must demonstrate their skills in both a controlled task and a short confirmatory test.
The controlled tasks are pre- set and available in a variety of contexts. There is an opportunity for centres to create their own controlled tasks, particularly for learners working within a specific industry or sector. For further details contact Judith Archer.
Candidates have a limited time to complete the controlled tasks and confirmatory tests according to the level:
