Overview

This qualification is part of the Career Planning and Preparation for Employment suite, which also comprises:

• OCR Level 1 Certificate in Preparation for Employment
• OCR Level 2 Certificate in Preparation for Employment
• OCR Entry Level (Entry 3) Certificate in Job-seeking Skills
• OCR Level 1 Certificate in Career Planning
• OCR Level 2 Certificate in Career Planning

Each of the Preparation for Employment qualifications consists of four units. Candidates can be entered either for a complete qualification (all four units) or for individual units. All units are centre-assessed and OCR-moderated. Work can be assessed and submitted at any time of year. The flexible arrangements enable candidates to gain accreditation at their own pace or as course time permits. The qualifications are available at three levels and represent a coherent progression path that candidates can follow.

The full qualifications are suitable for any candidate taking part in work experience. However, the individual units address a variety of issues (such as health and safety and rights and responsibilities in the workplace) and as such would suit any candidate looking to improve their knowledge and understanding of the world of work.

Candidates undertaking a course of study leading to these qualifications will have developed a range of generic skills that may be applied in a range of different vocational contexts.

All three Preparation for Employment qualifications are supported by a Tutor's Handbook, Evidence Booklets and optional training days.
