As more and more reports of high Mathematics failure rates emerge, the leading free online training provider is offering an innovative and engaging solution with the release of a free online Diploma in Mathematics.

The need for well-educated Maths graduates has never been higher. For economies to survive and excel in the 21st century they must be on the cusp of scientific innovation. Employers and government are beginning to realise that schools need to develop sound knowledge of Maths and Science in their students and foster scientific curiosity from a young age.

However in spite of the crucial importance of maths, educators are painfully aware of student’s lack of engagement with their studies.
