Skills for Enterprise Level 2
The Skills for Enterprise course is aimed at 16 – 18 year olds and provides a Level 2 progression route for those who wish to develop transferable skills that can be carried over to a range of career industries, study areas or apprenticeship programmes.
The study programme is designed to provide students with the knowledge of a wide range of customer service skills, which can be used across any future career areas. These skills are beneficial for those wanting to go on to full time employment or college courses, apprenticeships or for setting up your own business or social enterprising venture.
Students will develop a range of skills and attitudes that are for successful performance in everyday working life. The course programme includes essential areas of customer service including communication, legislation, dealing with challenging situations and customers, business structures, rights and responsibilities, health and safety and customer service in a digital age.
Students will work towards completion of a NCFE, Level 2 Certificate in Customer Services in addition to English and maths (as appropriate).
