“It has been over 40 years since I was in a classroom and using a computer was out of the question. After just a few weeks I was more confident and achieved something I have never had before – a qualification!”

John, above, was enrolled as a ‘Skills for Life’ learner at our training centre in Halliwell, Bolton and went on to put his skills into practice on a work placement.

Qualifications

Once individuals have completed their Maths and English courses, they can go on and take a short test to gain a nationally recognised qualification. Tests are taken on a computer and are free, last around an hour and can be undertaken whenever it is convenient.

The qualifications that can be achieved are: -

Certificates in Adult Literacy Levels 1 and 2

Certificates in Adult Numeracy Levels 1 and 2

They measure skills at the same level as other national qualifications: -

Certificates in Adult Numeracy and Literacy	Key Skills Qualification	GCSE	GNVQ	NVQ
Level 1	Level 1	D-G Grade	Foundation	Level 1
Level 2	Level 2	A*-C Grade	Intermediate	Level 2

We also offer “Preparing for Test” courses, which let your staff practise beforehand so they can go into the test with added confidence.
