The Edexcel WorkSkills suite of
units offer learners the opportunity to gain relevant, job–related
skills. The suite has been developed in direct response to the
Government’s Leitch Report and following consultation with schools,
colleges, employers and training providers.
The WorkSkills suite consists of 30 units that can be
tailored to a learner’s own vocational area, allowing them to in effect
‘design their own BTEC’. Learners have the flexibility to choose as
many or as few units as is right for them and to wrap them in a
qualification that is relevant to their needs.
Units have now been accredited by QCA, for first teaching
from September 2008.
The units have been written for a variety of contexts: schools,
colleges, adults, volunteers, home carers, employers and offenders.
WorkSkills e-learning units, endorsed by Edexcel,
are now available on vision2learn – click to take a look at a short taster.
