Overview

Designed for:

The Skills for Life tests are designed for learners aged 14+ whose home language is not English, who are living or trying to settle in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. These ESOL learners may include refugees or asylum seekers, migrant workers, people from settled communities, and partners or spouses of people who are settled in this country for a number of years.

It is expected that the learners' educational and employment backgrounds will be diverse, as well as their aspirations, literacy levels and language learning skills. This diversity will be reflected in the range of material selected for use in these tests and in the task types that candidates will need to complete.

Description

Candidates will encounter topics in the tests which are both familiar and relevant to them as learners of English. Topics may include:

  • personal details/experiences
  • work
  • education/training
  • housing
  • family and friends
  • health
  • transport
  • weather
  • buying goods
  • leisure
  • UK society.

Training will lead to ESOL Skills for Life:

  • available at five levels — Entry 1, Entry 2, Entry 3, Level 1
  • wholly externally assessed, by trained and experienced examiners
  • available on demand to suit the learner and the learning provider
  • accredited by the QCA and funded by the Learning and Skills Council

Who is this course for?

Anyone who wants to improve their language skills

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
