Learning Resources

Key Skills Work Pack

The CfA and BigStride have worked together to develop a Key Skills study resource specifically for Business & Administration students. Big Stride learning solutions offer interesting, relevant and industry-based methods for learners to achieve their Key Skills at Apprenticeship levels 2 and 3.

The Key Skills work pack is user-friendly and encourages learner understanding of Key Skills at the relevant level. It also encourages progression to higher levels upon completion. The work pack is mapped against QCA's standards and covers Application of Number, Communication and ICT whilst emphasising the relevance of Key Skills by using 'real life' examples to create a fun and interactive programme.

A complete Key Skills and Functional Skills learning package

  • Activities that enable learners to select and enter their own information, transfer and apply a range of skills to solve problems in real, purposeful and relevant contexts

  • Real-life learning challenges to enthuse and engage learners

  • You can also adapt the activities to meet your Functional Skills needs

  • All materials have been designed to be used in isolation to teach, practice or revise skills

  • Learners are exposed to different decision making processes and problem solving challenges

 

How do I use the materials?

Tutor and learners can access materials on-line, via the tutor and student areas.

The materials provide valuable additional resources to complement and extend your existing teaching and Key Skills sessions. Activities can be taken in isolation and fit into your lesson plans to achieve learners' underpinning knowledge and portfolio evidence - or could even form a framework for your lesson plans!

So think about Key Skills sessions, linking to vocational qualifications or adapting the activities to support Functional Skills!

The materials have been endorsed by City and Guilds.

  • A tool kit of 25 activities for levels 1 & 2

  • 25 sector specific information sheets for levels 1 & 2

  • 100 AoN test questions

  • Learner downloads offering additional support, including an exclusive 19 page guide to ICT

For only £155 your resources will include Communication, ICT and AoN at levels 1 & 2 (that is almost £25 per key skill per level). For as many Learners as you can manage. Discounts given for multiple sectors and centres!

And as an introductory offer this is available for £100.
