Vocational qualifications


Bricklayer photoVocational, or work related, qualifications can help people get the skills and qualifications that employers need.

Vocational qualifications are:

  • Flexible – learning can fit around work or home life
  • Relevant to the changing skills needs of employers
  • Improving employability – learners can be sure of gaining the skills that employers want, while employers can be confident about the skills learners have gained
