Level 1 Certificate in Employability

This qualification is designed to build the confidence and self-esteem of learners. It also seeks to encourage the development of values, personal attributes and interpersonal skills that contribute to success in the workplace. As this qualification focuses on generic workplace skills, it also meets the needs of employers for staff by developing learners’ understanding of relationships in the workplace and employer expectations.

The Certificate incorporates mandatory units in key areas such as presentation, communication and team working, and offers further transferable skills in its optional units, which include such topics as money management, health and safety, customer care and problem solving.

The aims of the qualification are:

 To give learners confidence

 To overcome barriers to entering the workplace

 To provide essential skills for further learning or for the workplace

 To improve work prospects and cultivate positive attitudes to work

All units are internally assessed through the learner building up a portfolio of evidence that covers the relevant assessment criteria. They are then verified by the centre and externally verified by Ascentis.

No entry requirements.
