Do I need advanced maths for project time management?
The unit includes estimating duration and effort.
What should you understand?
Project time management involves estimates of duration and effort. These are practical number skills, but the supplied summary does not set an individual maths-entry test for you. The provider needs to explain the demands of its course and the support it offers.
What should you ask or practise?
As practice, distinguish two hours of work from two calendar days waiting for a response. Ask to see the types of calculations and tools used in assessment. Discuss any numeracy needs before enrolling rather than assuming that advanced maths is required or that no number work is involved.
What should you compare?
- Exact unit requirements
- Assessed occasions and resources
- Access to practical activities
What remains unconfirmed?
The national evidence requirement is checked; the provider task design, participants, tools and accepted evidence are not known.
What can you do next?
Request a sample numeracy activity.
