Introduction

Core Skills signposting indicates if there are opportunities within units to develop Core Skills in the workplace to a specified SCQF level. The signposting document should also acknowledge where there are no opportunities to develop Core Skills. This signposting can be used by providers and assessors to plan the development and assessment of Core Skills.

The five Core Skills are:

Communication

Information and Communication Technology

Numeracy

Problem Solving

Working with Others

To compliment the environmental and land-based sector’s suite of National Occupational Standards, the following guidance on how the units can be used by candidates to demonstrate their competence against core skills has been developed.

In analysing both the performance criteria and knowledge and understanding requirements that are needed by candidates to achieve the specific units, perceived opportunities for the development of core skill competencies have been identified. This is particularly relevant to those working towards the SVQ units.

This process of signposting has been based on the concept of a ‘standard’ or ‘typical’ portfolio, because of this it is not possible to say that this signposting will provide an exact match for all candidates. Candidates would not be expected to achieve the sign-posted core skill through the identified opportunities alone.

The process employed to complete this document involved looking at each of the units to identify a base line of evidence requirements, in both terms of performance and product evidence. With this base line established, each of the core skills were then matched against these evidence requirements to identify potential coverage and level.

From the process of analysis, it has been possible to identify a range of potential coverage of the core skills. This analysis also identifies the levels at which the core skills can be achieved. The achievable level is perceived as being dependent upon the level of the candidate’s responsibility and the complexity of the evidence provided.

The findings are summarised in a matrix format for each of the units, identifying which core skill applies and at which level.
