Feeling confident with numbers helps in every aspect of life from measuring building materials or mixing hair dye, checking invoices, helping the children with their homework or even setting up in business.
But if you feel nervous when thinking about numbers, you’re not alone!
The Multiply programme
With the cost of living going up and up, now might be just the time to get on with numbers.
If you’re one of the 49% of adults that are underconfident when it comes to anything about maths, you’ll be able to get the support you need in the way you need it from the Multiply programme in 2023. From flexible online courses to one-to-one mentoring, learn how you want, when you want.
Multiply has been launched as part of the government’s UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) programme, by the Department for Education (DfE).

The free numeracy courses are for:
- Oxfordshire residents aged 19 and over
- individuals that have not achieved a maths GCSE of at least a Grade C or equivalent
- individuals who may want to develop numeracy skills for work or progression
