Recommended Prior Learning

Level 2 Physics requires high ability in Math. To succeed in this course it is recommended that learners have obtained Merit in topic tests or in the external exam for Mechanics (AS90940) AND at least achieved in one of the Algebra standards (AS91027 or AS91029) as part of L1 Numeracy.


This is an academic course to best prepare learners for the L3 Physics course. Physics is the science that has an impact on all our lives ranging from the mobile phones we use daily to nuclear power stations that generate electricity. Physics uses mathematics as an important tool and it is therefore recommended that learners have good mathematical skills. Learners will build their skills in problem solving and communicating ideas.
