Skills for Life Qualifications

If you want to improve your reading, writing, numeracy or information and communication technology skills, or want to show the skills you already have, a Skills for Life qualification could be for you.

Skills for Life qualifications are designed to help you develop the skills you use in everyday life, such as reading, writing or maths. They can also help you boost your CV or move on to further study.

• You can take a Skills for Life qualification if you:
• are over 16 years of age
• have left compulsory full-time education
• do not have an up-to-date English or maths qualification at level 2 on the National Qualifications Framework (such as a GCSE)

Skills for Life Certificates are available in:

• adult literacy
• adult numeracy

There is also a Skills for Life qualification in English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL).

Carlisle College offers Skills for Life qualifications on a regular basis, so you can take one whenever you are ready.
