What are Key Skills?
There are certain basic or "key" skills, which we all need to help us find and hold down a job.
These include literacy, numeracy, working in a team and self-analysis. Employers are keen to recruit people with proven ability in these areas.
What does the course cover?
Communication
Information Technology
Application of Numbers
Working with Others
The Key Skills course is an additional part of your NVQ training which helps keep
you up to date with the IT age. As more and more yards have computers this is a
necessary part of your training.
Key Skills also provide a recognised level of achievement in customer relations,
your own learning/performance, and your ability to work as part of a team of people.
Although these skills are associated with office jobs, they are now becoming an
invaluable part of the horse industry.
Key Skills is a qualification that you can complete alongside the NVQ training at
any level and many of the skills will be encompassed within the training. If
there are any skills that are not part of the NVQ level that you are doing,
then they will be covered at the end of the course.
Key Skills have been designed to help you with your day to day job in communicating
with colleagues and clients. Later you will learn about booking lessons,
answering the telephone, using a computer for training aids and your portfolio.
