National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher qualifications, accredited by the SQA, are typically studied at high school and college. These qualifications act as pathways to further study including university entry.
What will I learn?
This course follows the SQA National 5 Mathematics syllabus, structured specifically for evening class students. We start with the essential building blocks before gradually introducing more complex and abstract concepts over the first 25 weeks.
After prelim exams in March and April, the focus shifts to practising core skills and revising key topics to prepare you for the final exam in May.
Our Tuesday and Thursday classes run in sync, giving students the flexibility to attend either or both sessions each week. If you’re studying online on a Tuesday but need extra support with a tricky topic, you can join the in-person class on Thursday.
Likewise, if you usually attend on campus on a Thursday but can’t make it one week, you can dial into the online class on Tuesday. Every Tuesday session is recorded, and all learning materials, including short, pre-recorded lessons, are available via our virtual learning environment.
Our Wednesday class is fully online, making full use of digital resources. Students on this course only need to attend campus for their prelim in March and final exam in May.
Assessments for the Tuesday and Thursday classes take place on campus, with a follow-up review session the following week.
Key assessment dates are:
- October test – end of October
- First prelim – early March
- Second prelim – late April
Whichever option you choose, you’ll have the support you need to build confidence in maths and achieve success in your final exam.
