Skills for Life or Basic Skills Courses build your confidence in literacy, numeracy, speaking, reading and writing.
Improving your basic skills could help you manage everyday tasks like communicating your needs to others, sending emails or putting together a budget. In addition, employers look for evidence of good basic skills. A certificate at this level could also help you progress onto other courses to improve your knowledge even further.
Basic skills courses take place in colleges of further education, adult education and community centres and are often flexible so you can fit them around your other commitments.
