For Levels 1 and 2 in Numeracy you will undertake multiple-choice tests. These are the same as the Key Skills Levels 1 and 2 tests for Application of Number. ALAN tests are onscreen and on-demand at Level 1 and Level 2 and for Numeracy. Both tests follow the same assessment design whereby each qualification is a single, onscreen test.

This course will suit you if you are looking to either progress onto a GCSE Mathematics course or gain an alternative qualification:
