Topic.
I did a course at The Source Skills Academy in Sheffield last October, and passed a "Function skills" Maths course which is the equivalent of a D at GCSE level, however these days even entry level Office work requires a C or above in English and Maths, English isn't a problem as I did it at College in June 1996 and got an A from studying Macbeth, but I need to improve my Maths score.
I did enquire about going back to Sheffield College in September but the course isn't funded and I can't afford an expensive course especially when I'd have to pay £300 for the exams.
I've been scouring Google for courses but I can't find any free or funded ones.
Can anyone help?

Hi @MrAllen1976
Good for you for wanting to re-sit your GCSE. A friend of mine did the exact same thing to get her ideal job and had to pay to sit the exam so I get your frustration.
I've not been able to find any free online courses but maybe someone else can?
Also, if you check our activity wall you will see @LuckeeBlackCat1 has left you a helpful message

Have you looked at your local council website to see what adult learning courses they offer? It may not be online learning, however, in the current climate I think a lot more have offered online options.0

Leeds College of Building seem to offer one @MrAllen1976. I don't know how easy that is for you to get to, but perhaps they'll be running it online next September? Other than that, I'm not sure!0

Do you know if they do the course remotely?

No problem @MrAllen1976. I don't think the next course starts until September 2021. I imagine all teaching will be online at the moment in line with the government guidelines, but who knows what it will be like by next September! Maybe more colleges will offer remote courses in the future?0
