Key Skills
Aims
The Key Skills Qualifications are awarded by City and Guilds and are intended for everyone from School Pupils to Chief Executives in large companies. The Key Skills are the skills most commonly needed for success in a range of activities at work, in education and training and life in general.
Emphasis within these standards is upon the practical application of transferable skills to suit a variety of different purposes. Whilst the Key Skills can be assessed and achieved as a stand-alone outcome, delivery may more commonly form part of broader learning programmes involving the achievement of other qualification. For example, Apprenticeship Frameworks in England, Wales and Northern Ireland all include a Key Skills requirement.
