Please can someone in recruitment / HR confirm if these maths certificates (see photos) are equivalent to a maths GCSE grade 4? I have a functional skills maths level 2 and city and guilds numeracy level 2. My actual maths GCSE is grade D.

I'm hoping to change my job next year but in the fifteen years since I changed employer it looks like most employers now want grade 4 / C in maths. I've worked in finance admin, helplines, customer support (local government and large private companies) for over thirty years without needing a maths pass or ever having to provide exam certificates. Only just dug them out for the first time in my life, lucky I had them. Thank you.

Yes Functional skills L2 pass is an equivalent to a GCSE grade 4/C. It just depends on employers if they will accept them or prefer an actually GCSE

A modern "Level 2" qualification is equivalent to a 4/C or above.
I assume yours would be too.
I have a City and Guilds and I've always just listed it along side my GCSEs.

Thank you. That feels fairly positive.
