This is a one year ‘Employability and Work Skills’ level 2 programme aimed at learners who do not achieve five GCSE grade 9 to 4, including a Level 4 in GCSE English (and a Level 4 in GCSE Mathematics). The programme is composed of: BTEC Level 2 Diploma in Work Skills OCR Level 2 Cambridge Technical Award in Digital Business Technologies GCSE English* GCSE Mathematics* (if appropriate) Compulsory work experience placement * or other relevant qualifications depending on prior KS4 attainment The BTEC qualifications have a strong vocational application—these subjects give learners the opportunity to engage in learning that is relevant to them, whilst enabling the development of a range of skills, techniques and attributes essential for successful performance in working life. These qualifications make explicit the link between theoretical learning and the world of work by giving learners the opportunity to apply their research skills and knowledge to work-related contexts and case studies. Both Level 2 courses are assessed 100% by coursework on a Pass or Fail only basis. Students must successfully complete all work at a Pass level to achieve these qualifications. The compulsory work placement will give learners the experience of a real work environment to further support their classroom learning and the development of work-related skills. This programme will prepare learners for employment, apprenticeship, training and/or access to relevant Level 3 courses.
