Essential Skills Wales (ESW)
Aims
The Essential Skills Wales (ESW) Qualifications are awarded by City & Guilds and are intended for everyone, from school pupils to chief executives in large companies. The Essential Skills are the skills most commonly needed for success in a range of activities at work, in education, 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 Essential 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 qualifications. For example, Apprenticeship Frameworks in England, Wales and Northern Ireland all include a ESW requirement.
