The OCN NI Entry Level qualifications in Developing Skills for Life (Entry 1 and Entry 3) qualifications aim to develop confidence, self-esteem and independence in life and work skills. Learners cover a mixture of vocational and creative skills, as well as continuing to improve the literacy and numeracy skills required for everyday life.
The objective of these qualifications is to provide a range of units that will assist the learner in developing basic life skills and encourage them to be more independent. They are also suitable for learners with special learning needs.
These qualifications are targeted at individuals who:
• Need to develop further skills in literacy, numeracy and ICT
• Wish to be more independent in life
• Would benefit from alternative approaches to curriculum and learning
• Would like to sample a vocational area to inform their career/employment choices
