Central Bedfordshire Council: Free Courses with Multiply!

Date Added: 31/10/2022

What is Multiply?
We have an exciting new offer for our Central Bedfordshire and Bedford Borough residents. Multiply is a government funded programme, aimed at improving adults’ numeracy skills which can lead to positive improvements such as career progression opportunities, confidence with budgeting skills and the ability to help children with homework.
Bedfordshire Employment and Skills Academy (BESA) has partnered with Bedford Borough Council to deliver free maths courses to upskill our residents aged 19 and over, who do not currently hold a GCSE or equivalent maths qualification at grade C/4 or above.

Learners can then progress onto higher level maths courses, outside of Multiply but still delivered by BESA, and undertake their Level 1 and 2 Functional Skills to achieve an accredited maths qualification.

What courses are on offer?
• Maths Skills for Everyday Life (2 hour workshops) Focusing on maths skills used in
work and home life, helping learners become confident with applying these
skills to everyday activities.
• Money Management (3 hour workshops)
- Cost of Living Support
- Budgeting
- Borrowing and Debt
- Making the Most of your Money
• Shopping on a Budget (4 theory sessions of 2hr15mins each)
• Cooking on a Budget (4 theory sessions of 2hr15mins each)

Further details can be found in our Course Information Booklet.

How to book
Learners must complete our short www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/BESA-contact-us form to register their interest, and an enrolment form will be sent for completion to book onto the course. Learners will be contacted to complete an ID check before receiving a confirmation email.
