Qualifications prove that you've gained knowledge and developed your skills. They can help you get a better job or learn something new.

Maths (Numeracy) and English (Literacy) skills are vital in any job and are an important skill for your CV. Further and higher education courses usually require an English and Maths GCSEs. An Adult Literacy or Numeracy Certificate may be used as an equivalent to a GCSE.

Computer skills are also vital for most jobs. We offer the New CLAiT and CLAiT Plus qualifications through our learndirect centre.

We also offer the RIPH accredited Food Hygiene Certificate and the RTITB accredited Fork Lift Truck Licence. If you only need a certificate of attendance we provide private health and social care training and our pre-employment training includes short courses.

If you're already in work an NVQ could be appropriate. A qualified assessor will observe you and question you about the real work you carry out in your workplace. If you are 16–18 years old you can complete an Apprenticeship, which includes the NVQ as well as a Technical Certificate and Key Skills.
