Key Skills Support Programme

Key Skills are an interrelating set of transferable skills underpinning both study and employability. They are recognised and accredited in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Key Skills play a major role in raising the standards for learning in Wales.  They are becoming increasingly popular as demonstrated by the increased number of Key Skills Awards in Wales since they were introduced in 2000.
