Maths Support for Apprentices — Before You Start and While You Work
Practical, no-nonsense maths that helps you pass your aptitude test and stay on track during your apprenticeship.
Maths is one of the biggest barriers for apprentices — both getting in and getting through.
At Day One Education, we focus on the maths that actually matters: the skills used in aptitude tests and on the job.
Whether you’re preparing to apply or already in an apprenticeship, we’ll help you build confidence and understanding step by step.
Which Option Is Right for You?
Not started your apprenticeship yet? → Day One Tradies (Maths Prep for Aptitude Tests)
Already in an apprenticeship? → Toolbox Math (Ongoing Support Throughout Apprenticeship)
Some students start with Day One Tradies and continue with Toolbox Math for ongoing support.
