Award - Level 1 Award in PSD (QCF)

Qual Ref: 501/0962/5

This Level 1 qualification is designed to help learners aged 14-19 years old to develop key personal and social skills, behaviours and attitudes that will build confidence in their own abilities and also how to demonstrate and apply these effectively.

The Award aims to achieve this by using practical tasks, set in the retail automotive context.  These tasks allow learners to tackle new activities and challenges individually and as part of a group. They will improve learners' social interaction and help them to develop skills that will prepare them to look for, obtain and maintain employment.

This qualification is designed to form the Personal and Social Development (PSD) component of Foundation Learning.  It will complement IMI Awards technical Foundation Learning qualifications.
