Assessment for key skills

There are two different kinds of assessment for key skills.

Produce a portfolio containing evidence which shows that you can do everything the key skills units ask.

For communication, application of number and information and communication technology you may also need to sit a short test.

Working with others, improving own learning and performance and problem solving do not have a test and you only need to produce a portfolio.

People who already have certain qualifications do not have to do the tests or, in some cases, the portfolio. These are known as proxy qualifications.
