Essential Skills for Work and Life
A new qualification to support those who need to improve their essential skills is being developed. It will enable those working on literacy, numeracy and ICT skills to target the skills that they specifically need to improve. Currently the level 1 units have been written and are available to use within the Essential Skills in the Workplace project to accredit shorter courses. Feedback on the units regarding size, level and assessment criteria will be taken into consideration when deciding on the structure of the final qualification.
For more information on how the units can be used within the workplace project please contact Justine Grew within the Welsh Government justine.grew@wales.gsi.gov.uk.
Units at the three entry levels are in development and should be available by the end of March 2012.
For any other information concerning the proposed structure of the qualification, contact Judith Archer judith.archer@agored.org.ukwithin Agored Cymru.
