Why study for a work related qualification?
Achieving a work related qualification can help you to:
- Get the skills that you need to start work
- Help you decide whether it is the job you want to do
- Develop your career
- Go on to further learning
Work related qualification levels can be compared to other qualifications. Entry and Level 1 qualifications build confidence and help people prepare for further learning and work. Level 2 is the equivalent of grades A* to C / 9 – 4 at GCSE and Level 3 qualifications are equivalent to A Levels.
