CCEA Awards in Employability Skills are available at Level 1 and Level 2. These qualifications help prepare learners when they are first looking for work or training opportunities.

This specification is designed to develop learners’ skills in:

• completing job searches;
• filling in job applications;
• interview techniques;
• working with others;
• understanding work principles; and
• business and customer awareness.

Assessment for Employability Skills is based on a portfolio of evidence. There is no written examination or external test. The centre assesses the evidence that learners produce, then we moderate it.

Group A

• Working in a Team

Group B

• Understanding Work Principles
