Workplace Core Skills (3658)

There are five core skill areas:

• Communication
• Numeracy
• Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
• Problem Solving
• Working with Others.

Workplace Core Skills units are completed in a workplace, usually alongside an SVQ or other vocational qualification (VQ).

Assessment is via a portfolio of evidence.

Which level is right for me?

SCQF Level 3
You have little or no skill and experience of using core skills in a workplace setting and need support doing so. Work would be basic and familiar, for example, at trainee level.

SCQF Level 4
You have some skill and experience of using core skills in a workplace setting, for example, at assistant worker level.

SCQF Level 5
You have a reasonable level of skill and experience of using core skills in a workplace setting, for example, at intermediate or supervisor level.

SCQF Level 6

Core Skills can help you in all jobs from new starter to team leader or supervisor levels, as well as in learning and day-to-day life.

All assessors and internal verifiers must be qualified, as well as familiar with the Core Skills framework and evidence requirements for the workplace-assessed Core Skills units.

You will also need suitable facilities to carry out the required training to enable learners to achieve industry standards.

All assessment must be based on workplace evidence.
