Skills Builder Impact Level 4

For organisations implementing the Skills Builder Universal Framework of essential skills

Two of our online units are accredited by Skills Builder at Impact Level 4, namely  'Speaking confidently in public' and 'Developing a winning mentality'. Impact Level 4 is the highest level and recognises those programmes that can demonstrate impact - meaning learners are making progress in specific steps on Skills Builder Universal Framework.

The units include 5 minute quizzes that allow learners to evaluate their current skills on the Skills Builder Universal Framework before and after taking our courses. This allows institutions to evidence progress and impact.

Danny Lye

Headteacher, Bow School, Tower Hamlets

"It’s been fantastic to see the growing confidence, skills and raised aspirations of those students who have taken part. Hearing the young people talk about their heroes and those who inspire them, as part, of the programme was pretty special too. I am confident that involvement in the programme boosts our students chances of future success."

"I like the structure of the content from its questions to the styling. It's simple, easy to follow and super easy to deliver to a class of students. The model can also be delivered in small blocks of time, so it's super flexible and can be fitted into a busy school."
