Course Content
This unit will equip learners with the skills needed to improve sustainability
within a business environment, analyzing the benefits of keeping waste to
a minimum and implementing new means of doing so. Learners will also
gain an overall understanding of diversity – recognizing the benefits of a
diverse workforce, how to maintain security and confidentiality, and how to

may find it helpful if they’ve already achieved a Level 2 qualification.
Entry is at the discretion of the centre. However, learners should be aged 16 or above to undertake this
qualificatio
While completing this qualification, learners may develop the knowledge, understanding and essential
skills employers look for in employees. These range from familiar ‘key skills’ such as team working,
independent learning and problem solving, to more tricky-to-measure skills such as:
• an appreciation for appropriate behaviour and dress
• appropriate interpersonal skills
• communicating with professional colleagues/peers and/or hierarchical seniors
• supporting other aspiring employees
• personal manners and deportment
• understanding work practices and how different roles and departments function within an
organisation.
This qualification aims to provide learners with a number of progression options, including higher level
studies at university or FE colleges. The skills required to progress to higher academic studies are
different from those required at Levels 1 and 2. Level 3 qualifications enable the development of these
skills.
Although there is no single definition of higher level learning skills, they include:
• checking and testing information
• supporting your points with evidence
• self-directed study
• self-motivation
• thinking for yourself
• analysing and synthesising information/materials
• critical thinking and problem solving
• working collaboratively
• reflecting upon learning and identifying improvements.
