English and maths are essential life skills that will help you through life, in whatever career you choose. They are the building blocks in most businesses and widely sought after by universities, employers and apprenticeships. A solid grasp of English and maths will help propel your career prospects.

We run courses from Entry Level to GCSE and with flexible day and evening classes available, based at our Conway Park Campus in Birkenhead which has great transport links by bus, train and car.
Helen Burns, who owns her own business as a children’s party entertainer, enrolled on a Functional Maths course at Wirral Met as she was advised a maths qualification would be advantageous to help with her business accounts.
Mum of two Helen has now progressed to a more advanced course and is continuing to improve her skills. Helen said: “I decided to have a change of career when I had my two boys and couldn't afford to pay childcare. Now my new business is thriving and I’m still committed to furthering my education.”
