The level 2 award in work skills is designed to run parallel alongside the level 3 qualification. The skills which you are going to be developing in this course include academic research, critical thinking, literacy, preparing a CV and an interview. A majority of the work from this unit will be assessed holistically with the level 3 qualification while preparing a learner for an interview in higher education.
