Improve your numeracy skills for free with Twin
Numeracy is a valuable life skill and used every day whatever life or job you have. It is the ability to understand and use maths in daily life, such as improving household finances, helping children with homework, making more sense of the stats and facts in the media, or something specific to your line of work.
People who improve their numeracy skills are more likely to be in employment, have higher wages, and better wellbeing, and will be more able to progress to higher levels of free training to secure a skilled job.
