Key Skills
These skills include numeracy and communication, and they play a central role in helping people to make the most of their opportunities and to increase their effectiveness generally.
The Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) identifies 6 Key Skills:
- Application of number
- Communication
- Improving own learning and performance
- Information and communication technology (ICT)
- Problem solving
- Working with others
With the support of Protocol Skills, the need for these skills can be assessed within a business, and for individual learners, and appropriate programmes identified and recommended.
The appropriate Key Skills can then be studied as either stand-alone qualifications, or as part of a broader learning programme such as an Apprenticeship.
